I love my job, assisting families & friends in finding senior living, that gives peace of mind to loved ones.

My own parents are 86 years young, so I can relate to people when they have concerns about mom, dad or a spouse.

Years ago, I worked as a Realtor, finding homes for people, which included many senior clients.

This experience is useful when it comes to negotiating terms for the families I represent.

I’ve also worked in senior living communities, and I currently manage two group homes.

The most important factor in my job is to ensure my clients’ care needs are met. I know the questions to ask, to make sure the senior living environment is a fit to each individual’s unique care needs.

I hold my Manager’s License, at the AZ Board of Nursing Care Institution Administrators & AL Managers, which holds me to the highest degree of competency and standards.

Achieving this certification required many hours of coursework, 2,080 documented hours of work in a health field, exams, and continuing education courses.

Group homes are required to have a Manager licensed by the NCIA Board, and I’m proud to hang my license at two care homes. This experience helps me stay current on laws to protect our senior population aligning with compliance with the Dept of Health Services.

On a personal note, I’m proud to be a Hawkeye (from Iowa ) and am very close with my parents (both 84 years young) and my two grown daughters.
