Thank you for your interest in Oasis Senior Advisors. I was born in Ohio and, at age 7, left for the adventures of growing up overseas with an Air Force family. After residing in Japan and Italy, we relocated back to the States. I returned to Cincinnati shortly thereafter, and it has remained “home” for most of my life. Traveling as a child allowed me a variety of cultural experiences. Traveling is still my greatest hobby, and I have enjoyed passing along those experiences to my children. In my early years, I took on some work through college at a Hospice unit, and I absolutely loved working with families and hearing the amazing stories that seniors would share with me about their life experiences. After college, I spent 10 years working in Deaf Education and in the community helping many elderly along the way to communicate effectively with legal matters, clinical visits, church services, and other interpreting needs. As an Oasis Advisor, I spend every day helping families navigate very unchartered waters with their aging loved ones. Often, there are many layers of needs, and it is our job to help uncover all those needs and come up with a solution. We not only advocate for the best solution for our clients but also for their families, who are often the caregivers. Advocating for our seniors in our community is top of mind for me, daily. I have been a co-chair of the Butler and Warren Counties Walk to End Alzheimer's, and I am very passionate about their cause. I am proud to now sit on the Board of Directors for the Greater Cincinnati Alzheimer's Association and have the great opportunity to be involved in change at a local and state level through advocacy. In addition, I sit on the Board of Directors for a local nonprofit, Community Aging Resource Experts (CARE). I invest in my employees so that some of their workday can also be spent advocating and being involved in local programming with other organizations. I sincerely enjoy people and especially enjoy helping others! While this moment in time may feel overwhelming for your family, having my guidance and support can help ease a difficult and time-consuming process. I am committed to taking the same vested interest alongside your family to find the best fit possible for your loved one.
