National Lead Instructor
Responsible for training specialized classes that transform caregiving experience into a profession as a Certified Home Services Worker. Executes classroom curriculums while ensuring compliance with any state-specific, all applicable federal and local regulatory requirements.
I have been caring for the geriatric population for 37 years. I became a Certified Nursing Assistant in 1985. I have extensive experience in the fields of Long-Term and Assistive Living Care Facilities, Hospice and Palliative Care Agencies, Private Home Care Agencies, and Dementia and Memory Care Facilities. I performed in a Team Leader position according to its scheduled duties and responsibilities in directing a team of caregivers.
I am given the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives, and I take pride in being an Instructor for potential individuals responsible for caring for a loved one. My goal is to teach and help caregivers, not only to prepare for a successful career in the home care industry but also to spread awareness that one person caring for another represents life’s greatest value.
I am a qualified Dementia Activity Director in caring for clients in Memory Care Unit. It gives me joy in knowing what it takes to make better the lives of others by planning and monitoring leisure activities for recreation and therapeutic purposes. I am also a certified Virtual Dementia Tour Facilitator who is responsible for guiding individuals outfitted with patented devices that alter their senses and enables caregivers to experience for themselves the physical and mental challenges those with dementia face. I take pride in the opportunity to provide training with ground-breaking, evidence-based, and scientifically proven methods of building a greater understanding of dementia.
“Four wheels move the body, but two wheels move the soul.” The sun on your back. Two fists in the wind. And the horizon teasing you farther down a great road. That is what it’s like being on a Harley Davidson! I just love it! There’s nothing quite like it. The freedom you feel is incredible!
“To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honors.”
