What is your background?
I’m a Licensed Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from NYU and a Bachelor’s in Behavioral and Political Science. I specialize in aging and supporting older adults. Over the years, I’ve worked in a range of healthcare settings, including rehab centers, skilled nursing facilities, and outpatient clinics where I’ve provided individual therapy, care coordination, and crisis support. My focus is helping older adults and their families navigate life transitions, caregiving challenges, and emotional stressors with compassion and clarity.
Why did you become a care manager?
My passion for care management grew from hands-on experience in discharge planning and family advocacy within rehab and long-term care settings. I was drawn to helping clients and families make sense of complex medical systems and life changes, and I loved being a steady, reliable presence through it all.
Joining Generations allowed me to expand that role, not just offering guidance, but building meaningful relationships and supporting clients over time with both expertise and heart.
What is your favorite thing about working as a care manager?
I love being a bridge between families and providers, between uncertainty and clarity. My favorite part is helping individuals and their loved ones feel empowered, heard, and cared for. It’s deeply meaningful to walk alongside someone during a vulnerable chapter, helping them access support, find peace of mind, and even discover moments of joy.
What is the most common problem your clients face?
Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by a fragmented healthcare system, especially when dealing with aging, cognitive decline, or sudden medical needs. Even with the best intentions, families often struggle to navigate care options and services on their own.
That’s where I step in, to help organize, advocate, and make sure no one feels lost or unseen. Whether it’s identifying the right resources, clarifying care options, or providing steady emotional and practical support, I aim to be a grounding and compassionate presence when it’s needed most.
