Denise Rivera, Direct Support Professional 

Denise Rivera, a proud Newyorican, has been married to her Navy man for 38 years. As a loving mother of three and a doting grandmother of five, she’s always found joy in family. Her journey began in the vibrant streets of New York City, where she was raised after her parents immigrated from Puerto Rico. From a dedicated stay-at-home mom to a seasoned hospitality professional, Denise has worn many hats. She spent 22 years in the restaurant industry, starting as a server and rising to General Manager. While she loved the fast-paced world of food and service, her true passion lies in helping others.

Now, Denise is fulfilling her lifelong dream of making a meaningful impact on the lives of others. She is dedicated to caring for adults with special needs at Nurturing Spirit. Her nurturing spirit and compassionate nature make her an invaluable asset to the team, providing support, love, and understanding to those in her care. When she’s not busy caring for others, Denise enjoys life’s simple pleasures. She loves spending quality time with her family, belting out tunes at karaoke, grooving to salsa rhythms, or hitting the pickleball court.
