I am a Michigan native and a graduate of Grand Valley State University where I studied Psychology and Studio Art. I have a great love of the outdoors, animals and art. I spend my free time hanging out with my dog- Moe, painting, drawing, listening to music, gardening, hiking and pretty much anything outdoors! I am passionate about caring for people, and have worked as a caregiver for seven years. I have grown to care deeply for others happiness and well-being. I have seven consecutive years of experience caring for adults with developmental disabilities in a day program setting, and I have also worked as a daily living mentor with individuals on a one-on-one basis, as well as at a group home. I am experienced in daily living necessities such as feeding, providing personal hygiene, transferring, providing transportation to activities, as well as coaching individuals to live more independently by helping them to become involved in their communities and develop their own personal interests. I am open to learning new care skills in order to care for any individual with, or without, special needs.
