Activity Assistant
Hi there! I absolutely love a good adventure. When I am not working closely with my clients, you can find me climbing rocks or tackling rough terrain in my Jeep. I also deeply cherish my time relaxing at home with my fiancé, our three dogs, and our five chickens, often with a good book or a craft project in hand. My true calling and love for working with the elderly began when my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and dementia, an experience that taught me the profound importance of compassion and care
