Our Journey

Crestwood Senior Center, Mantua, OH

During Fall of 2025, had an amazing day at Crestwood Senior Center! 💜 I had such a great time sharing brain health tips and watching everyone light up during our interactive activities! 🧠✨

One of my favorite parts was when we explored dance mudras— simple hand gestures that help improve coordination, focus, and cognitive function. 💃🖐️ Seeing everyone laugh, move, and challenge their brains in such a joyful way was truly heartwarming!

These moments remind me how powerful movement and connection are for keeping our minds sharp and spirits high. Can’t wait to be back for more brain-boosting fun!

Aurora Senior Center

During end of Summer, 2025, I had an absolute blast presenting at Aurora Senior Center! 🎉🧠 It was so much fun sharing brain health tips and activities, and I’m so happy to see how much the seniors loved it. Their energy, laughter, and curiosity made the whole experience so rewarding. 💜

These moments remind me why I started Cognitive Connections—to spark joy, learning, and confidence at every age while keeping our brains strong and healthy.

Streetsboro Senior Center, Streetsboro, OH

During the Summer of 2025, I had the absolute joy of closing out the 5 month Brain Health event which i kickstarted back during Spring of this year.

From connecting with students and families to collaborating with inspiring educators and community leaders, it was truly a full-circle moment. Seniors were reintroduced on how food, movement, sleep, emotional wellbeing, and cognitive fitness all play a powerful role in keeping our minds sharp and healthy—now and in the future

Alzheimer's Foundation of America, Cleveland, OH

During summer of 2025, had such a great time volunteering at the Educating America Tour event in Cleveland! 🧠 It was amazing to see so many people show up to prioritize their brain health and take part in the free memory screenings. Huge thank you to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America for hosting such an impactful event, and special thanks to Dr. Krystal Culler from Virtual Brain Health Center for inviting me to be part of it!

Family Kindness Festival, Beachwood, OH

In May of 2025, had an incredible experience presenting at the Family Kindness Festival, where I had the chance to connect with and inspire nearly 150 people about the importance of brain health! 🧠💙

One of the highlights was guiding kids through a hands-on activity where they created beaded neurons — a fun and creative way to learn how our amazing brains work. It was so rewarding to see their curiosity light up as they built their own "brain cells" and asked thoughtful questions! ✨🧵🧠

Also thank you to the @virtualbrainhealthcenter for the Kids Brain Health Book! It was so fun to raffle them out to the kids' schools. Shoutout to @hawkenlowerandmiddleschool and Orange Elementary School for receiving the two brain health book!

Empowering the next generation with tools to keep their minds sharp and healthy is what Cognitive Connections is all about!

From brain-boosting exercises to fun memory challenges, everyone brought such great energy and enthusiasm! It was truly inspiring to see so many seniors committed to keeping their minds sharp and prioritizing their brain health.

Streetsboro Senior Center, Streetsboro, OH

During the 2025 spring break, spent two amazing days at the Streetsboro Senior Center! We explored the 5 Pillars of Brain Health, got everyone moving with fun chair exercises, and learned hand gestures inspired by Indian classical dance. On day two, I performed a short piece of an Indian classical dancer to show how movement, rhythm, and expression can support emotional wellbeing and boost brain health. They also had fun Brain Health Passports to encourage more seniors to join in — such a creative and engaging touch! So thankful to kick off the Brain Health Series in Streetsboro. Nearly 90 wonderful participants joined over the two days — so much joy, connection, and brain-boosting fun!
