As director of public relations for the Alzheimer's Association, she worked to raise public awareness of Alzheimer's disease.

Our Senior Center was one of five California sites chosen as a good model for best practices in senior care services, and as the leader of the one community in the San Gabriel Valley resource that provides the most services to seniors, she was asked to participate and share her perspective.
