@venuzdelmar
I create inclusive wellness, movement, and health-engagement programs for seniors, neurodivergent youth, and diverse communities.
What I'm looking for
I've led wellness, movement, and community-engagement programs across Puerto Rico and New York City, supporting seniors, neurodivergent youth, and culturally diverse communities through accessible, motivating activities.
As a Health Motivator with Departamento de Recreación y Deportes' Programa Muévete Conmigo, I partnered with insurers including Triple S, MCS, First Medical, MMM, and Humana to connect seniors with fitness, wellness guidance, health screenings, Medicare Advantage information, and preventive vaccines. I delivered rhythmic exercise, aerobics, and Latin dance programming across San Juan and surrounding communities to reduce isolation and encourage healthy habits.
I've also coordinated dementia and schizophrenia care, improving daily medication adherence while working with nurses and doctors on care plans, refills, home visits, and wellness routines. My background as a bilingual wellness educator, movement educator, and communication coach helps me build welcoming spaces where people feel confident, engaged, and supported.
