Signature Presentations and Workshops

 

With over 35 years of dedicated experience in senior care, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise, gerontological insight, and heartfelt commitment to the aging journey. Holding a Master’s in Gerontology from Miami University, I am a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)®, an Aging Life Care Professional®, and have earned the Foundation for Wellness Certificate through the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA).


Every audience is unique—and your programming should be too. I offer evidence-based, customizable workshops and presentations designed to educate, inspire, and empower. Whether engaging older adults, supporting family caregivers, or training healthcare professionals, each session is thoughtfully tailored to meet your organization’s specific goals and your audience’s needs.


  • Expert-Led, Research-Informed Content: Each program is grounded in my professional experience and the latest aging-related research, ensuring both credibility and relevance.
  • Engaging & Interactive Format: I believe learning is most effective when it's engaging. My sessions are designed to be interactive, participatory, and thought-provoking, encouraging active learning and connection.
  • Flexible Delivery Options: I offer both in-person and virtual formats to fit your scheduling and budget needs—ensuring a meaningful experience, wherever your audience may be.


Let’s work together to deliver programming that’s insightful, empowering, and tailored just for your audience.
