Professional Background

Nan’s professional experience bridges clinical care, senior advocacy, and applied research.

She began her career working in hospital-based environments, where she gained first-hand exposure to the physical and emotional challenges older adults face when mobility declines. Over time, this experience led her to focus on preventative mobility support, helping seniors remain active, safe, and independent for as long as possible.

Alongside her clinical background, Nan has worked directly with seniors and caregivers through community programs and private consulting, assisting with:

  • Mobility aid selection

  • Home safety planning

  • Fall-risk awareness

  • Daily movement strategies for aging bodies

This combination of structured healthcare exposure and hands-on senior support shapes her practical, no-nonsense approach to writing.

If it wouldn’t help a real senior or caregiver make a better decision, it doesn’t belong on the page.
