To continue to satisfy my entrepreneurial spirit, I started Lifelong Cognition in 2017, after having the opportunity to lecture at an independent and assisted living community. I fell in love with the idea of Lifelong Learning, and creating programs to engage seniors, and help foster their cognitive health.

I have always loved being a teacher and a messenger in spirit. These qualities, along with my passion for knowledge help me understand the need for Lifelong Education.
