So many people today are heavily impacted by Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. The Alzheimer's Association and the World Health Organization have projected that the number of people who will develop Alzheimer's disease by the year 2050 worldwide will triple if a treatment or cure is not found. Society is not prepared to care for the tidal wave of people who will develop this devastating disease. In her 30 years of working with family members and caregivers of those who live with dementia, Lisa has recognized how little people really understand the true complexities of what living with this disease is really like. For Lisa, it starts with knowledge, education, and training.

I attended the Minding Dementia Summit 2023 and Lisa's workshop. It was wonderful. So much helpful
information. Lisa is such a fountain of information, and her ability to convey complex information in a clear and engaging way truly sets her apart as a speaker. I recommend her to all my clients and friends."

"I was a speaker at the Minding Dementia Summit 2023 and an attendee of the event, which Lisa personally organized. I highly recommend Lisa. Her deep knowledge and expertise of Alzheimer’s disease
and related dementia is coupled with her warm and approachable demeanor. Through her summit, Lisa created an environment where the speakers as well as the attendees were harmoniously engaged. Lisa’s dedication to educating others about these challenging conditions was evident in every word
she spoke both as the host of the summit and as a speaker. I will continue to recommend Lisa."
