My first job as a student at Northeastern University was in a nursing home in Cambridge, Ma. Apprehensive at first to work in a nursing home I knew after my first day that I would dedicate my career to working with seniors. Over 20 years later I’ve never looked back. Working in this industry has been an amazing career choice and I feel that I have been able to make a difference and touch many lives.
I got my nursing home administrators license in Pennsylvania in 1992. In 1993 I came to work at Logan Square East.. It was so encouraging to see that people can grow old so gracefully; there was something magical about Logan and the residents that lived here that made it a pleasure to come to work every day. In 1999 we had the good fortune to become part of The Fountains, and I was afforded the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally with this amazing organization.
The Fountains and Watermark allow me to think out of the box and fulfill my visions of what senior housing can be. As a part of this team I am able to meet and exceed my goals and focus on the residents, to empower them to express their passions, learn new things, stay physically fit and keep active.
I also have the privilege to sit on the board for Watermark for Kids. Our not-for-profit organization empowering kids to express their true selves. I am passionate about what I do and grateful that Watermark shares and encourages this passion.
