Q: What’s your favorite season and why? My favorite season is definitely spring. When the trees start flowering, the weather starts to warm, and the days get longer, it’s hard to not to feel an extra dose of hope and optimism (in spite of allergies!)
Q: What unusual food combinations do you really enjoy? Hot sauce on popcorn…if you’ve never tried it and you’re a fan of hot sauce, you should definitely give it a try.
Q: What topic could you spend hours talking about? Don’t get me started on film history, theory, and symbolism unless you want to have a really long, passionate discussion!
Q: What drew you to working in aging services?
I was drawn to working in aging services because I wanted to be in a field that helps and serves others. For years, I watched my grandparents benefit from their experiences moving through the care continuum and I deeply appreciate all of the people
who played a role in their aging journey. Our loved ones deserve the best as they age and I feel honored to help make that happen.
