Caregiving forever changed me. In our family, we affectionately call 2014 our 'spiral year'. My husband and I found ourselves in the sandwich generation - squeezed between caring for our children and our aging parents - while working full-time. We felt isolated, overwhelmed, and lost. I searched online for help but didn't even know I was called a family caregiver! I felt like we had to figure everything out on our own. It shouldn't be this hard to get support and resources for ourselves and those we love!

My friend said I was earning my master's degree in caregiving and she was right! I've had to learn a new vocabulary, hire extra hands, rent mobile ramps, research hospice options, buy hearing aids, find a nail groomer who'd make housecalls, and replenish incontinence and frequently used supplies. I couldn't find a support group for caregivers - so I created my own!

In 2015, I started Happy Healthy Caregiver with a focus on helping family caregivers integrate self-care and caregiving with life. Today, I'm a full-time advocate for family caregivers while being a long-distance sibling caregiver for my brother Tom who has intellectual and developmental disabilities. I'm thrilled to be your champion for the Atlanta, GA area so that I help bring caregivers and community resources together.
