Mindy is originally from Iowa but has been in Arizona for almost 30 years. She is a graduate from Arizona Sate University. Her love and compassion for seniors started by caring for her own grandparents...including her grandfather who is almost 98 years old. Her passion for helping other, and especially seniors, made her decide to become a caregiver for Home Instead in 2018. She quickly learned she was a true believer in the Home Instead model and their core values. Shortly after her time as a caregiver she moved into Recruitment and Engagement role. Not long after that, she moved to the Client Service Director and now she is Home Instead's General Manager! Being able to work in the office in these different roles at Home Instead makes everyday rewarding knowing she is helping make an impact on seniors by allowing them to stay home. In her spare time, Mindy enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters hiking, reading, golfing, cooking, and enjoys the outdoors. Reach Mindy directly at [email protected]
