She shares her journey, leadership insights, and passion for reshaping long-term care as the “Silver Tsunami” generation rises.
She has also certified over 100 Certified Dementia Practitioners in the past 3 years is still going strong with that initiative, having at least 10-15 students every quarter. With baby boomers reaching age 65+ and the huge shift LTC will endure, she feel's strongly on educating healthcare workers on Dementia.
