I am a wife, mom, daughter, and forever grandchild that is passionate about helping grandchildren and adult children love their elders. I am also the author of a NEW book called The Value of Wrinkles: A Young Perspective on How Loving the Old Will Change Your Life.
Between growing up in an intergenerational household and working professionally in the seniorcare field, I often tell people that I do, in fact, have over 35 years of experience being around the older generation. My grandparents, Mama and Yeye, lived until 98 and 102, and they had a profound impact on her life.
Professionally, I have over 13 years of experience working at reputable healthcare organizations in the senior living and hospice care field. I have a Master in Public Health from the University of Maryland, College-Park. I am happily married to my husband, Kevin, and we are blessed with three little ones who keep life fun.
