For me, this work is deeply personal and deeply rooted in more than 15 years of experience working as a Direct Support Professional. As the grandparent of a child with an intellectual disability, I understand firsthand the importance of creating opportunities where every individual feels valued, respected, included, and empowered.

My professional experience, combined with my personal journey, has strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, person-centered support that recognizes each individual’s unique strengths, interests, and abilities. At JADEs Place, I envision a different kind of environment—one where everyone deserves the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, participate in their community, develop greater independence, and live a life filled with purpose, dignity, and possibilities.”
