About Jessica
Experience: 4 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
My name is Jessica and I am an Occupational Therapy Practitioner currently working at a nursing & rehabilitation center for older adults and geriatrics. This will be my 4th year working in this field. I genuinely find happiness in working with the elder population as I take pride in how much patience and empathy I have. I understand human development and decline very well as I have a special certification in Dementia Care. I feel as though the geriatric population needs extra love, care, and support since it is common of individuals to not fully understand what conditions people go through as they age; mentally, physically, and spiritually. Most find "dealing" with the elderly to be a hassle, frustrating, confusing, and even a burden. So I feel confident in knowing I treat those individuals how they need to be treated.
