I strive to keep residents, team members, and owners happy by making a meaningful impact on the lives I encounter daily. I have witnessed many tough transitions in my career, but the thing that keeps me going is the ability to provide my residents with a place to call home. Working for a company that cares about you and your community heavily impacts my daily work. I love what I do and who I get to do it with.
