More about me
How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
I partner with people in the community with the thought that the people I interact with are the team-leaders. I'm here to assist and help to keep people part of the community while finding services that allow them to be independent as possible.
What's your favorite thing about being an IRIS consultant?
My favorite thing about being an IRIS Consultant is the sense of community and independence that I can assist in creating.
What past experience prepared you to become an IRIS Consultant?
The path that has led me to being a TMG IRIS Consultant started while working in long-term nursing home care. I was always passionate about independence, in whatever form, and found that the more we take away, the less someone may be able to do. My goal has always been to maintain or improve independence to help create or maintain a beautiful quality of life in whatever setting.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Being part of the north woods community has allowed me to enjoy much of the beautiful outdoors with my family. We enjoy everything about nature! I hunt, fish, and enjoy camping. I also enjoy volunteering within the community and spending time at the lake or watching my children participate in sports.
