I am a native Oregonian; I grew up in Eugene and have my Bachelor of Science degree in Health Education and Promotion from Oregon State University.

I have worked in Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care Communities in Admissions, as Director and Sales Associate.

 

I am the owner of Willow Care Consulting, doing what I enjoy best. Helping families in stressful times know their options so that a clear path emerges, solutions are found, and families are calmer and less overwhelmed. I bring with me a knowledge of the industry and compassion in working with my clients. 

I am on the Alzheimer’s Association Walk Committee. I was their Chairperson for the 2014 and 2015’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s. I am also a member of Southtowne Rotary, since 2017.

 

For the past past 7 years, I have co-facilitated a 10-week Memory Loss Series class for those with dementia and their care partners. I help teach classes, but mostly I learn along with the attendees from the experts we bring in (e.g., elder law attorney's, Geriatric Nurse practitioners and more). I also enjoy teaching at a variety of other organizations in town, including for the Alzheimer's Association and hospice.
