I didn’t come into this work by accident—I came to it through love, loss, and firsthand experience.

For five years, I cared for my mother in my home as she battled dementia. It was one of the most meaningful—and challenging—chapters of my life. I often felt overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure if I was making the right decisions. There were moments I wished I had someone to guide me—someone who understood both the emotional weight and the practical realities of caregiving.

Shortly after, I walked a similar path caring for my husband during his two-year battle with cancer before he passed. Supporting someone you love through such a journey changes you. It deepens your compassion, strengthens your resilience, and gives you a profound understanding of what families are truly going through.

These experiences are the heart behind Sweet Caroline Senior Care Advisors.

As a Senior Transition Specialist, my mission is to help families navigate one of life’s most difficult decisions—finding the right care for a loved one. I provide guidance in identifying senior living communities that align with your loved one’s level of care needs, financial situation, and preferred location—while always prioritizing dignity, wellbeing, and quality of life.

Professionally, I bring over 20 years of experience in technology sales, most recently with IBM, where I built my career as a trusted advisor. I’ve always believed in helping people solve problems—not just selling a service. That same philosophy guides my work today.

My background also includes financial planning. I helped families with life and health insurance, Securities, and mortgages. I also worked at the IRS on family tax matters. This diverse foundation allows me to support families not only emotionally, but also with practical, informed guidance during a stressful and often confusing time.

Most importantly, I bring empathy, authenticity, and a genuine desire to help.

My services are completely free to the families I serve. I am compensated by the senior living communities we partner with—meaning you receive expert advice and personalized support at no cost to you or your loved one.
