My career in senior living began in the late 70’s when I was hired as a caregiver in a skilled nursing home and immediately found my passion for senior care.
This position acted as a catalyst to become a certified aide and medication aide, eventually going to nursing school.
Over the years, I tried hospital nursing and physician offices but always returned to caring for seniors.
In 1995 my husband and I moved to League City and I accepted a position as the Resident Care Director in an assisted living community. I was hired at another community where I was given the opportunity to move into leadership as the Executive Director in 2006. Those first few months were quite a learning experience growing from the clinical side to operations.
When I find myself with down time I enjoy working in my yard and traveling to see family in Oklahoma.
To be honest, I believe my experience in operations as well as the clinical side has made me a better leader, and I am honored to serve the residents, family members and staff at Regal Estates.
