About Tawana

As someone who loves to surround herself with diverse groups of people, I thrive on learning new things about people daily and growing relationships. I have lost both my mother and a close family friend's mom to cancer and have assisted and managed both hospice care experiences with them. Going through something that hard makes you more grateful for the amazing community who helps you get through it. If I can be that for anyone else, it will be my honor in life. As a caregiver, you get to walk through life with someone and truly be there in a time of need. It's as much about learning as it is about giving to another person. I want to have the impact of just being a kind human who helps others; we could use so much more of that in this life.

I've been a manager over 30 years, but having been giving an opportunity to step in a different role was very fulfilling, seeing that I could bring my skills as a manager to help a family in need gave me such wonderful life experience. Caregiver has now attracted me to help offer physical assistance, social interaction and emotional support and much more. My personal achievement that I am proud of, is to hear the patient and her family say that I was their angel, in a most difficult moment in their life.
