Qualifications and Relevant Experience: I have served as the executive director at Prairie City Landing in Folsom, CA, for the past five years. My work in senior care spans more than four decades, starting at a young age as a certified nursing assistant and home health aide. I have worked in home health, skilled nursing and assisted living. I have served as an executive director in senior living communities for more than 18 years. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration / Health Care Management from Colorado Technical University. I credit the seniors I’ve been privileged to work with for my values and ethics. I’m also very proud that my daughter, Jennifer, also works in senior living.

“My values have been shaped by the population we serve. I value health, happiness, having a few close friends who positively impact my life. I have worked with seniors for 47 years. I owe who I am and who I have become, on all I learned from them! They are the “why” behind why I do this work and I love my job!”
