With over 15 years experience in the senior healthcare industry, I have sincerely enjoyed supporting our seniors and look forward to many more rewarding experiences with them! It is with honour that I get to help seniors on a daily basis; I love to hear all their great stories and becoming a part of their lives. In my spare time, I engage in boating and swimming on beautiful Georgian Bay!
