“I believe that each person deserves to feel loved, appreciated, and have a sense of purpose. It is my passion to make those that I come in contact with to feel that way. Growing up my grandparents were my best friends and is really where my love with working with the elderly community came from. I look forward to continuing my work with the Garden Place Communities and working with such a wonderful team!”
