About Corrin

After working in a life skills class as a student mentor, I discovered my passion in working with people with disabilities. That has since expanded to geriatric, memory care and end-of-life care after spending a few years working for the aging/developmentally-disabled population. I have experience working in-home, alongside family members, and within group-home settings. It is my goal to help those I am caring for live the life they want to live. I encourage others to get out and about, make friends, and explore all this city has to offer. I have strong interpersonal skills accompanied by a warm, positive attitude. Once I develop a stronger relationship with those I care for, my silly nature begins to creep out of hiding. I love to listen to music and dance/sing while working. Although I do not play any instruments myself, I am quite attracted to live music and you can often find me at a music venue in the evenings after work. I am always "the-more-the-merrier" type of person and welcome anyone I work with/for to join me on outings if they like.
