From a young age I knew that I wanted to work with people. For nearly 30 years, I have worked with seniors, families, veterans, individuals with high medical needs, developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injuries and those that are experiencing mental illness.

My goal is to combine my breadth of experience and education with a personal touch throughout the referral process which offers families reassurance that I will do everything I can to find the right community or home for your loved one.

I understand personal experience, with my sweet grandmother, that a transition to a new home is never easy for families or their loved ones. My hope is to offer support throughout the process, relieving some of the stress that accompanies the placement process. My favorite part of the work is connecting with seniors and their families. There is nothing better than seeing someone thrive when they get adjusted to their new home.

When I'm not working, you can find me at a Disney Theme Park!

I began my career in the senior living profession by chance over 17 years ago and have never looked back. I joined the Mt. Hood Adult Day Center family in 2016 and together we launched Mt. Hood Senior Solutions in 2019.

I really enjoy getting to know families and their loved ones. I understand the importance of getting to know your loved one's personality and preferences, so we can find the best long-term fit. My hope is to alleviate the stress and pressure that comes along with the placement process.

I like to approach even the most challenging placements with optimism and support. I love and value that we are a locally owned and operated company, which allows us to provide quality personalized service.

I enjoy being active in my local community, by fundraising and donating to local nonprofit organizations. When I am not working you can find me kayaking on the Columbia River.

With a background in social services, I have a passion for working with vulnerable, underserved populations. My introduction to working with seniors began with home care. I quickly fell in love with this work! I enjoyed helping others and was able to use my creative brain to find quick and effective solutions for those in need of more support. After successfully growing and operating a home care agency, I decided to get my ALF administrator license and move to a community setting in both operations and sales roles. Being able to work with seniors on a day-to-day, in-person basis was a game changer. Each person offering their own unique life story and gift to the world inspired me to dedicate my career to making an impact on how to better serve this population. As a Certified Dementia Practitioner, I enjoy working with and supporting those living with Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Not many of us are taught how to navigate the end of life until we are suddenly faced with the challenge of finding care for our loved ones quickly. My passion is to provide quality, value-driven services and solutions to those in need while alleviating the stress and confusion so many and their families experience during this process.

When I am not working, I enjoy traveling with my family (my favorite destination is Hawaii) and being a big kid with my kids!

My passion for working with seniors began almost 20 years ago when I started working at a nursing home as a feeding assistant. My heart was home right away. Since then, I’ve gone on to be a caregiver, and a sales administrator in assisted living, and even received my administrator’s license to operate my own assisted living community. I enjoy working with seniors and their families, as I feel our seniors are often overlooked. Seniors still have a plethora of stories, wisdom, and love to share with the world!

In my free time, you can find me playing board games or video games with my family and friends, or traveling whenever I can!

In my teens, I volunteered in a nursing home in Scappoose as a candy-striper. It was there that I found a special place in my heart for seniors. Some folks were great storytellers and when they told the stories of their lives, I learned about the world they knew. I found their lives so interesting, and I vowed then that when I grew up, I would be an Elder Advocate so I could ensure the protection of this special and often vulnerable demographic.

I have worked with seniors since 2005 in case management, discharge planning, Medicare compliance, hospice, and community education. I understand the importance of finding the right placement for our seniors and as a native Oregonian, I know this community and all it has to offer. My goal is to help you and your family navigate this often difficult process and find safe, quality, life-enriching care. Together we will make the golden years ones of comfort and community.

In my free time, I volunteer in my community helping seniors understand their Medicare benefits and spending time with my family, three Rottweilers, and way too many cats!
