“Advocacy is my passion. As a social worker, my career has always been centered and grounded in the field of geriatrics which is complex and challenging, but also incredibly rewarding. I derive enormous satisfaction navigating vulnerable elders and their families through complex benefit and entitlement systems often with very successful outcomes. Bringing peace of mind so that the future is brighter for these families is deeply fulfilling and I enjoy making a difference in their lives.”
