Meet the Founder

After nearly three decades leading teams and managing large-scale operations, I discovered my greatest fulfillment came from creating individualized moments of joy and connection with older adults and their caregivers. My path became clear during my hands-on training for activities in the continuum of care. I realized that traditional group programming often leaves behind the individuals who need the most support, specifically those living with advanced dementias. I found myself consistently drawn to these individuals on the sidelines. By taking the time to learn their unique strengths, adapting games so they could successfully participate, and using personalized music to spark memory and joy, I saw firsthand the profound impact of tailored, one-on-one attention.

Driven to deepen my expertise for this underserved population, I became a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP). I quickly realized that while traditional senior living environments and group homes do incredible work, their busy staff must tend to the entire community, leaving little time for this level of deep, individualized focus.

I founded Enriched Moments to bridge this gap and create individualized experiences, wherever they call home. For group settings, I tailor our music and art programming to match the audience. For one-on-one visits, I dive much deeper, learning each individual’s unique life story, interests and personal strengths. By balancing these two approaches, we create opportunities for every participant, whether in a group or one-on-one setting, to experience joy, connection, and success.
