I took a leap of faith and entered a whole new world of senior living.
Over the years, I have met so many wonderful seniors, families, and coworkers. They all have a special place in my heart. I feel so blessed to have been part of many journeys that have shaped and inspired me into who I am today.
It’s not just activities, it’s life.
The light clicked, and I just knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to become a Therapeutic Recreational Therapist working with children. As I was unaware of my future, behold, I would end up working with the opposite generation.
My Hometown.
There have been so many instances of caring for family, friends, teachers, etc. It has really been a gift working in my hometown and getting to return the favor to those who taught/cared for me.
