My healthcare journey began in skilled nursing, where I worked as a social worker, partnering closely with patients, families, hospitals, teams, and interdisciplinary care professionals to ensure safe, compassionate, and successful care plans. While my professional experience has given me valuable insight into the healthcare continuum, my passion for home care is deeply personal. When my father was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease, I experienced first-hand the emotional and impractical challenges that family\u2019s face while trying to help a loved one remain safe, comfortable, and independent at home. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in home care, where I could make a meaningful difference for others walking a similar path. Today, as the Community Liaison at Assisting Hands \u2013 Fox Valley South, I am committed to building trusting relationships with families, healthcare providers, and community partners. I believe that exceptional care extends beyond meeting physical needs, it means preserving dignity, providing peace of mind, and ensuring every client feels supported throughout their journey. My goal is to be a reliable resource, an advocate, and compassionate partner who helps connect individuals with the personalized care they deserve, allowing them to remain safely in the place they
