About Me

About Me

With more than 20 years of experience in dementia care, I have had the privilege of serving in nursing homes and assisted living communities in a variety of roles, including direct care caregiver, Activities Assistant, Activities Director, and Memory Care Director. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the challenges and rewards of supporting individuals living with dementia.           

My passion for dementia education is also personal. Having cared for a family member with dementia, I understand firsthand how essential quality education and compassionate support are not only for professionals, but for families as well.

I believe that we can’t know what we haven’t been taught. Education empowers us to provide more compassionate, person centered care and helps us better support people living with dementia, their loved ones, our coworkers, and our communities.

My classes are open to anyone who wants to learn, whether you’re a healthcare professional, family caregiver, or simply interested in understanding dementia more deeply. I encourage active participation, meaningful discussion, and real-world problem-solving because I believe the best learning happens when we share experiences and learn from one another. My goal is for every participant to leave with practical knowledge, greater confidence, and tools they can use immediately to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
