I have mainly worked with individuals 65 years of age and younger. Strong background partnering with at risk youth. I enjoy working children, teenagers and individuals in their twenties as life is full of undefined possibilities. I am a little kid at heart. Raised a son who is now 19 years old. I Love learning about people of any age as we all have stories, strengths and things we want to improve or change. Regardless of the age of consumers, they have taught me significant lessons about life. I believe empathy shapes how we interact with others. It is critical to know expectations for the consumer and family members. I truly enjoy getting to know people, providing services that foster independence and making goals attainable.
