My Passion, My Journey...

     My passion began when I was 13 and volunteered in the very first Eden Alternative nursing home. Since then, I’ve added years of hands-on experience in long-term care, healthcare, non-profit, and other work involving supporting elders. 

     Throughout my career, the experiences I’ve had in my education have given me an understanding of how elders age both physically and mentally and how to best support them with a variety of services.  I have an associate degree in Gerontology and a bachelor degree in Health Systems Management and Public Health.  Currently, I am a graduate student pursuing my Master of Science in Gerontology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.  Also, I have taken specialized yoga training for elders at Duke Integrative Medicine. My academic and professional experiences have given me a holistic understanding of aging.  

     As a Certified Dementia Practitioner, with experience in helping people living with dementia to have a better quality of life, I can also help people living with dementia and their loved ones with much-needed relief and support. 

     I am also a proud supporter of the LGBTQ+ community and hold a safe space for those who identify.
