About Don

I'm 48 years old, married with 4 children. I come from a large family being the oldest of 7 siblings I grew up being a caregiver. I previously worked customer service for nearly 20 years. In 2015 I was diagnosed with Cancer, Multiple Myeloma which made me want to give back to the Healthcare industry since it gave so much to me. I simply enjoy learning, taking care of others. The thing I'm most proud of is making the career change from Customer Service to Healthcare.

I've always been able to communicate well with others and have been told that my personality is inviting. I am able to maintain and start conversations to make people feel comfortable. I enjoy helping those in need especially doing activities that I love doing myself. Being a caregiver gives me a sense of home and makes me feel proud when I realize how much it can impact someone's life.
