Andrea Kincade
Summary
I have a passion for assisting and advocating for seniors with strong skills in relationship building, attention to detail, time management and adaptability. My experience working as an Occupational Therapy Assistant both in senior communities and in home health has provided me with insight and understanding of various hurdles seniors are faced with daily. Additionally, while working closely with families through the complex and often times emotional journey finding a community to move their loved one into, allows me to bring a unique skill set to fill the position of Sales Representative.
