M.S. Gerontology, GERIATRIC CARE MANAGER

My work with older adults is rooted in a lifelong appreciation for the wisdom, stories, and connection that generations share. Growing up in a large extended family—and later living in a multigenerational community in Costa Rica—deepened my belief that older adults deserve to remain connected, respected, and supported as they navigate the changes that can come with aging.

I earned my master’s degree in gerontology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and bring both specialized training and practical experience supporting older adults and their families. Through my professional work and connection to the Winston-Salem community, I have developed a strong understanding of the local resources, relationships, and support systems that help individuals and families make informed decisions as needs change.

Winston-Salem has been home for most of my life. I have known this community as a student at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, a parent, a musician and piano instructor, and through my work serving older adults and their families. Those experiences have given me lasting relationships, local perspective, and a genuine love for the people who live here.

Today, I bring together professional expertise, community knowledge, and a compassionate, person-centered approach to support older adults and their families through the decisions and transitions that come with aging. My goal is to help clients navigate those changes, make informed decisions, and feel reassured knowing they have a knowledgeable advocate by their side.
