At Juniper Village at Wellspring, I oversee activity and engagement programming for the memory care unit. I plan resident-centered programs around individual needs, abilities, and safety, and support a team of employees.

Previously, at The Village at Penn State, I led therapeutic recreation programming for personal care and skilled nursing residents. I also completed resident assessments and care-plan documentation, and coordinated staff, volunteer, and intern support.
