While not a TN native, Maryville has been my home for the past 35 years and I have grown to love this town and the people in it. I did not begin my career in senior living until 9 years ago but it did not take long for me to realize how passionate I was about serving our seniors. Starting out as a housekeeper for an assisted living facility I quickly moved up into a more administrative role and worked as the assistant admissions coordinator. I started developing relationships with patients and families and knew I wanted to continue growing in that area. It was not long after that I accepted a position as resident engagement coordinator and for the past 6 years helped seniors to have the highest quality of life through day to day activities and engagement. Relationships are at the heart of why I do what I do and I am excited to serve clients and their families with the highest of care and compassion!
