About

 Drawing from my formative years, my passion for human stories has been unwavering. In any gathering of strangers, you are likely to find me engrossed in conversation with an elderly individual, fostering connections with undivided attention. Witnessing firsthand how the more you listen, the more they share. It's like discovering the most magical elixir.

The inspiration drawn from my clients has driven me to pursue a doctoral degree in gerontology, as I am determined to enhance my capacity to serve them more effectively. Nearly every facet of my work is rooted in evidence-based research, and I can unequivocally affirm the veracity of scientific findings emphasizing the pivotal role of social connectivity in the mental well-being of aging individuals.

Each day, I witness the profound elevation of mood resulting from robust social engagement, a phenomenon corroborated by empirical evidence. I am confident that you, too, will recognize and appreciate the profound impact of social interaction on the aging population.
