I have my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Syracuse University, and I was a dietitian and a pharmaceutical sales representative for 10 years prior to staying home with my children (now grown). I have extensive medical experience and knowledge, as well as over six years of hands-on personal experience in the areas of dementia care, Parkinson's and end-of-life (Hospice) care. I also specialize in healthcare advocacy. I am a driven, organized, loving, and caring person and I enjoy helping others. I have many years of intensive experience working with and advocating for children on the Autism spectrum. I am a Master Level Reiki Practitioner, I am CPR certified, and I am a Certified End-Of-Life Doula. I have clean background checks and Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearances.
