Bio
Since 2006, I have been certified as an occupational therapy assistant. In 2008, I took on the role of director of therapy and later advanced to senior director of therapy, a position I held for four and a half years. My experience also includes providing in-home care, with the aim of enhancing the quality of life for my patients and clients. Deeply caring, my objective is to make a positive impact on the lives of those I encounter, holding the belief that our purpose is to serve one another.
"As a dedicated caregiver and former Senior Director of Therapy, I've had the privilege of serving others for many years. But my greatest joy is being a caregiver for my mother, who has Alzheimer's, which I've had the honor of caring for full-time for almost a year now.
As an occupational therapist assistant, I've had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life, helping them to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. But as a caregiver, I've seen firsthand the importance of compassion, empathy, and understanding in the care process.
When COVID-19 hit New Mexico, I was proud to be part of the team that served the community. As the only professional in my building certified to fit test employees during the pandemic, I worked closely with nursing staff to ensure that everyone was protected.
My passion for people is evident in everything I do. I believe that we were put on this earth to serve one another, and I'm committed to bringing that philosophy to every interaction with my clients and their families. Whether it's providing respite care or just offering a listening ear, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
As a certified respite provider, I bring a unique combination of skills and experience to the table. With my background in occupational therapy and senior leadership, I'm equipped to provide personalized care that addresses the physical, emotional, and social needs of my clients. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where individuals can relax, recharge, and feel supported.
I'm excited to bring my passion and expertise to your family, and I'm committed to making a positive difference in your lives. Let me take care of you so you can take care of each other – "trust me to be there for you every step of the way."
