Profile

I am a licensed Adult Care Home Administrator with 17 years experience during which time I have successfully built strong teams that deliver positive census, financial, and survey results. As an owner of a certified therapy dog, I have seen the positive effects dogs have on the populations we serve. Prior to NH administration, I worked in social services in a wide range of long term care settings.
