WORK HISTORY
Dementia Friendly Initiatives Program Manager @Metropolitan Area Agency On Aging
Manage & support three Trellis statewide initiatives that work to make communities good places for people with memory loss to live and thrive.ACT on Alzheimers® is a statewide collaborative that equips communities to support people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.Dementia Friends is a global movement to change the way we think, act and talk about dementia. By helping everyone in a community understand what dementia is and how it affects people, each individual can make a difference for people touched by dementia. Trellis operates Dementia Friends Minnesota, training Dementia Friends Champions in communities across Minnesota to lead free Dementia Friends Information Sessions for the general public and private groups.The Remember Project works to build a more dementia-capable Minnesota and Wisconsin using the arts. The project presents one-act plays performed by professional actors who bring real issues connected to the care, diagnosis and experience of dementia to life. Audience members take part in a facilitated conversation about the themes, metaphors and impact of memory loss depicted in the plays and often experience life-impacting insights and calls to action.
