Interests

We recently relocated to Florida in July. Our property has 2 homes; the main house is where my parents live, and my husband and I live in the guest house. The plan is to help my parents as they age in place. Our new home is a clean pallet and our goal is to renovate and organize it into a coastal rustic theme. I have 2 active dogs and enjoy taking them swimming everyday. I also enjoy cooking for large groups of friends or family. I love living a simple life with my husband, 2 dogs, and 2 cats.

About Me

I’ve been a licensed occupational therapist for 16 years now, and I am passionate about helping people remain in their home. I enjoy problem solving with clients and families with safety as #1 goal. I’ve considered myself an “old soul”, always spending time with my grandparents. When my maternal grandmother was on hospice care, I was one of her caregivers.
