I love traveling, reading, listening to music and dancing. Music and dancing. Music and dancing brings me great joy!

Job Title: GCM (Allies in Aging JFS Eder Care Solutions) team
From: Denver, Colorado
Speaks: English
I am the newest member of the GCM (Allies in Aging JFS Elder Care Solutions) team. I am from Denver, Colorado and love all things related to the outdoors. I moved to Massachusetts to obtain my Masters in Social Work and Masters in Theology and Ministry at Boston College, which I received this past May. I love to play the flute, and recently bought an Irish flute—and am teaching myself how to play it. I was born deaf in my right ear, and if you ask me a question, I promise I am not ignoring you, I may not have heard you. I will be a geriatric care manager and will carry a caseload of older adults and their families. I will also be learning about how the program works and sharing some administrative duties with Malka.
Navigating healthcare, housing, family dynamics, and personal challenges can be overwhelming. Being there to support and guide people through these tough times would be incredibly rewarding, and I’m excited to make a positive difference with the team I’ve joined.
