Special Populations Advisor - Dementia
As a Dementia Advisor with a background in Speech Pathology, I specialize in supporting adults impacted by progressive neurological disorders. I provide education, guidance, and personalized strategies to caregivers of people living with dementia, helping them manage behavioral, emotional, and cognitive challenges. I collaborate with Care Guides and Service Coordinators to ensure families receive the resources and long-term planning support they need. I’m married with two young boys, and we love traveling, trying new restaurants, and exploring new activities. From a young age, I’ve felt drawn to caring for others, especially those who are vulnerable. I believe life’s challenges remind us to offer kindness and support to those around us—you never know when you might need a helping hand yourself.
