Professional Expertise Grounded in Lived Experience
Before caregiving changed her life, Debbie led nationwide teams during a 26-year business career. She later became the full-time caregiver for family members living with vascular dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease—without the training or roadmap she wished she had.
Today, Debbie is a Certified Caregiving Consultant, Certified Caregiver Advocate, three-time family caregiver, international bestselling author, and founder of The Purple Vine. She combines professional leadership, caregiver education, candid storytelling, and gentle humor to help audiences feel understood, capable, and ready to act.
