Her desire to help aging adults and their families make healthy transitions is a response to the challenges her family faced after the COVID19 virus debilitated her parents. She chose Senior Care Authority, a nationwide enterprise, due to the caring attitude of the people in the organization. In addition, the training, systems, teamwork, and sharing of ideas among owners provides the basis for a class A organization now and for the future. She brings an abundance of experience from her extensive career fundraising for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, particularly in the area of advocating for vulnerable populations.
