Who We Are & What We Do
You are doing something extraordinary.
I want you to know something that not enough people say out loud: It takes a quiet kind of bravery to do what you do every day. Caring for someone you love, especially as they age or decline, is one of the most demanding, emotional, and life-altering roles you’ll ever take on. And yet, most of us are handed this responsibility without warning or training.
I know, because I’ve lived it.
Long before I became a gerontologist or aging expert, I was a family caregiver. I navigated hospital rooms, doctor’s appointments, late-night emergencies, and impossible decisions for people I loved deeply. I know what it feels like to be exhausted and overwhelmed, to feel invisible, and to wonder if you’re doing enough.
That’s why I started LEVERAGE™, a non-profit whose mission is to be a resource, create community, and stand beside caregivers like you and say, "You’re not imagining things." What you are doing is not easy.
At LEVERAGE™, we bring together science, experience, and heart to help you find your way through the uncertainty. We’ll walk this road together. I’ll help you make sense of the aging process, understand what’s coming next, and most importantly, remember that your needs matter too.
Caregiving changes everything. The right knowledge, tools, and community will turn uncertainty into confidence and caregiving into something sustainable.
You are showing up in a beautiful and powerful way.
The answers, my friends, are closer than you think.
