Bennington,NE
Summary
My entire career has been in Senior Living. From Housekeeping and Dining to Activities and Receptionist, from Business Director to Executive Director to District Director of Operations, I have worked nearly every position within the industry. My passion for seniors has evolved into a true passion in guiding and supporting a team, genuine understanding of operational excellence and leading by example. I am policy and results driven with a strong focus on fostering relationships and adapting to any given changing need to benefit the community/company. I have provided on-site support in several communities all over the country with Sonida Senior Living. No matter the situation, department or task, my calling is in senior living.
