Summary
I offer a diverse background that combines public service, community support, and business leadership, making me well-suited to serve seniors with care and professionalism. As a former police officer, I bring strong skills in crisis response, advocacy, and building trust with vulnerable populations. My experience as a youth worker, organizer, and personal assistant has strengthened my ability to communicate with empathy, resolve conflicts, and support individuals through challenging situations. In addition, running my own fitness and fishing business developed my leadership, organizational, and problem-solving skills. Together, these experiences have equipped me to provide respectful, client-centered support to seniors while collaborating effectively with families, healthcare providers, and government agencies.
