She focused her individual education plan in the MSW program on working with older adults and their families. Since graduating she has worked with seniors in a variety of settings…Home Health Care, Independent Senior Housing, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing Facilities, and most recently in Adult Day Services. She found a passion for social work with older adults after seeing the struggle her grandparents had in finding and coordinating services after her grandfather became ill. The people who were supposed to help them ended up being another obstacle in their path and she felt like there was a real need to help others in similar situations.
In her spare time, Heather loves to read, garden, swim, and spend time
with her husband and cats as well as the rest of her family.
