Elise Ahishakiye

I am a dedicated Direct Support Professional with experience providing compassionate, patient-focused care and logistical support for clients. Since 2014 I have lived in Tucson and have worked to promote client well-being through attentive daily assistance.

In my current role at Rise (since 12/2021) I transport clients to medical and dental appointments, assist with activities of daily living (ADLs), and track client progress. I participate in ongoing training to stay current on best practices, particularly in wound care and schedule management.

My background includes an Associate of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Pima Community College, which informs my understanding of medications and clinical care needs. I combine clinical knowledge with hands-on support skills to ensure clients receive respectful, effective care.

I seek opportunities where I can continue to grow clinically and contribute to a team focused on person-centered care, safety, and measurable client outcomes.
