More about me
How do you Partner with people to 'clear the path ahead'?
Partnering with an individual is getting to know you and what your future goals are. We then create a plan you feel comfortable with in order to achieve them. We work together to identify services or natural supports available to you. We discuss your IRIS budget and resources you need to get the care and support necessary to achieve those important goals.
What's your favorite thing about being an IRIS consultant?
My favorite thing about being an IRIS Consultant is empowering people to create meaningful lives in their communities. Helping people get the most out of life is a wonderful accomplishment and makes me feel like I made a difference in one's life. It becomes very rewarding when an individual achieves their goals.
What past experience prepared you to become an IRIS Consultant?
I have worked in the health care field for many years and believe my past experiences have encouraged me to get involved in a long-term care program so I can help others, make a difference in their lives and it has given me the abilities to be the IRIS Consultant I am today.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy spending time with my three children and 5-year-old golden retriever. I am a huge animal lover, enjoy the outdoors, and love to travel. I also participate in fundraising activities to support finding cures for fatal diseases. I also have a deep compassion for the ALS (Lou GehrigÆs Disease) association.
