How did you become interested in working with older people?

I have been a caregiver all my life beginning at age 10 with four younger brothers. My first two years in college I cared for my grandmother and I have always had elderly friends that I looked in on.

What do you like most about your work at the Area Agency on Aging?

It provides a way to share my knowledge of services for the aging and caregivers with others.
