I am a recent Magna cum Laude Social Work graduate from the College of New Rochelle. This past year, I had the opportunity to be a Social Services intern at one of the top Nursing Homes in New York State, according to US News & World Report. I aided in preparing Advanced Directives, provided support, counseling, recreational and socialization opportunities, and conducted assessments for depression and cognitive functioning on a long term care unit for approximately 100 residents; many of whom had special needs such as mental illness, dementia, and Parkinson's Disease. I also performed research and developed policy for a new Palliative Care program there. I love working with older adults, and helping them to maintain their independence, dignity, and autonomy, and feel inspired by their life stories and achievements.

I have a clean driving record, no criminal history, and am certified in Mandated Reporting for abuse, neglect, and other maltreatment.
