Bethlehem is a first-generation Ethiopian American born and raised in the Atlanta area. She is married to her husband, Deneiro and they have two children, Noah, 12 and Elizbeth, 3.What inspires her to be so caring and impactful with our residents is her philosophy to treat them as she would want her mother or grandmother treated. Her advice to anyone joining this caring profession is to talk and listen to the residents. Also to be positive every day! What great advice for all of us. Thank you, Bethlehem, for enriching the lives of our residents every day and your beautiful positive influence on us all.
