I’ve been a dedicated professional in the healthcare industry since 2017. Working with people as a caregiver provided invaluable experience that I now apply daily in coordinating care for others.

Starting here at DSPC has been both humbling and empowering to be a part of a commitment to optimal support for individuals with I/DD and their families.
