With a rich background in textile design and a strong foundation in school management, I transitioned into the Nursing in 2022 and senior living industry in 2024. I have since progressed to becoming a Life Enrichment Manager at Sunrise Senior Living. My experience spans concierge services, activity assistance, and dementia unit care, culminating in a comprehensive approach to enhancing the lives of senior residents through engaging and meaningful activities.
