I started my caregiving career with my family in 2004. I then realized that it was more of a calling to continue on my path in the caregiving field, as I was given an opportunity in 2009 to manage a foster care home with some amazing individuals. I bring 16 years of professional experience as a Direct Support Professional in many caregiving settings throughout my career, including both private, state funded programs and community inclusion supports. My previous care experience has equipped me with the skills to deliver compassionate care tailored to the unique needs of each individual while creating environments where individuals can thrive by developing crucial life skills. I started with Human Connections in 2023, and I am eager to bring my expertise and my positive impact while collaborating and growing with each individual I support. Outside of work, I cherish moments with my family and friends, the company of my two dogs, Poncho and Kaylili, and love to garden and try new DIY home projects.
