 I work with all our wonderful referral partners, helping them find solutions for their valued patients and clients so they may stay in their home longer or help them during their recovery journey. I have an extensive background in sales/marketing in both the medical and dental world. I am a transplanted Canadian farm girl who loves helping others find a better way through life's transitions. I have two teenage daughters and when I am not with them you can find me on an outdoor adventure, enjoying the fantastic California weather! I believe we all need to laugh louder and love deeper.
