Hi, my name is Tess and I have 7 years of working in senior health care as a recreation therapist. I am also an artist and have a masters of fine art from the University of Waterloo. I was a lifeguard/swim instructor for four years during my bachelor's. I love to paint, swim, walk, cook and bake. I am a certified recreation therapist from Georgian College and I have done at home caregiving for 6 months. I have worked in long term care home, rehabilitation and day program settings. I was the day program coordinator in Toronto, Ontario for seniors' living with dementia.

I have worked with children for four years teaching swimming lessons and worked privately with a girl on the autism spectrum.
