I have always loved developing relationships with others, dating back when I was a teenage gymnastics coach. I loved being a mentor to young kids. In my adult life, I realized that as professionals we develop and change just as much as we do as kids, and in fact that never changes! The elderly have so much wisdom and history to learn from, and I often think it's a shame that they are not more of an integral part of our society. People need companionship, care, and appreciation (most of all appreciation!) to feel important and loved in this world. Giving to others energizes me and, in addition, makes me feel like a better person over all. I spent the last seven years developing a professional career in science, including petroleum geology and mining hydrogeology, but now I'm taking a break from the industry to recoupe and recover. Given my personality and love for working with people, it was natural that I was drawn to this career path. I look forward to meeting you and your loved one!
