Bio
Roberto Muñiz
I have known and worked with Denise in different capacities for many years. Her energy and passion for aging services and making a difference in the lives of elders is contagious. She has a positive, can-do attitude in everything she’s a part of. Her knowledge in our field is extensive and her compassion and care for those she serves is even greater. She is a leader in senior care and I’m always amazed at the impact she has in driving positive change and growth in the aging services field.

Denise has done a wonderful job of combining her many years of industry experience and added a very select group of professionals to develop DRIVE. The result is a highly efficient, effective, and specialized team with the ability to dive deep into an organizations culture and identify the pulse and the opportunities that lie within. Our team had a wonderful experience with the DRIVE Team in 2017 and are benefiting every day from the work of Denise and her team! I would recommend DRIVE to any entity wanting to take engagement and culture to the next level!
