What’s the best part of your job? The best part of my job is building connections with the seniors we serve. It’s rewarding to hear their stories, learn from their experiences, and offer the support they need. Every day, I can make a positive impact, whether through organizing fun activities, providing essential resources and meals, or just being there to listen. Seeing them happy and knowing I’ve helped is satisfying.
What keeps you motivated? What truly motivates me is knowing that my work plays an important role in improving the lives of older adults. It’s incredibly meaningful to be part of an organization dedicated to ensuring seniors feel connected, supported, and respected. It’s an honor to have a positive impact on their lives in many ways.
How do you like to spend your spare time? I enjoy spending my spare time with my family. I have two teenagers who definitely keep life interesting and busy! We especially love going on road trips without a set itinerary. There’s something fun about discovering new places spontaneously along the way. I also love to bake whenever I get the chance; it’s relaxing for me and a great way to share something homemade with friends and family.
What’s the most valuable career advice you’ve been given? The best career advice I’ve received is to focus on relationships, not just the work. Building strong connections makes everything more meaningful and effective, and this has guided and helped me along the way.
