About
I bring real-world experience in direct, compassionate care—developed through supporting a family member with complex health needs—into a formal care setting. With an eye for detail, a calm presence, and a respect for personal dignity, I’m drawn to roles where small daily actions create a meaningful difference. I am not interested in simply "doing tasks"—I care about the people behind them.
