Over the past thirteen years, my life has been a journey of learning and caregiving. Transitioning from teaching to joining my husband's home care business in Connecticut marked the beginning of a profound chapter. With a keen interest in dementia care, I immersed myself in training sessions, devoured literature, and attended seminars by leading experts. This quest for knowledge culminated in my certification as a Dementia Practitioner.

​

Utilizing this expertise, I diligently trained caregivers in best practices, driven by the desire to provide the level of care I would entrust to my own mother. Then, life took a personal turn when my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Witnessing her journey reinforced the importance of dignity and respect in care.

​

Two years ago, my husband and I embarked on a new chapter in Florida, seeking respite from the cold. Keen to stay engaged, I delved into part-time work as an activities assistant, relishing the joy it brought. Eager for deeper involvement, I transitioned to supervising activities in a memory care unit, where I formed deep connections with residents and their families.

​

Now, an exciting opportunity has emerged to extend my impact further on the dementia journey, allowing me to continue supporting and uplifting individuals and families navigating this challenging path.
