About Debbie

I work in the Wellness and health side of healthcare and love connecting with others. I have taught senior fitness for over 15 years. I recently lost my mother in 2021 and spent a decade helping to care for her throughout her illnesses. I believe social relationships and engaging with seniors plays a huge role in their care and well-being.

I am a very compassionate person and love to help others, so that is why I became an Occupational Therapy Assistant. I love being around the elderly especially. My grandparents have and had a huge impact on my life and I have learned so much from them. I am a great listener, problem solver and I love to chat, bake, cook and go for walks. I have been married for 32 years, we have two grown sons, and now 2 grandsons, which is an unbelievable blessing! I also have some humor and like to joke around, as I had to live with all boys! I'm also a Christian, love to play cards and games and love dogs!

I am Very fun & outgoing, get the job done by any means. I was attracted to caregiving because I helped my grandmother up to her untimely passing with being in bed rest and I've made that one of my goals during my healing to make sure I branch and help those who need it. I enjoy the most is the relationships I know I can create with people.
