I will have been employed at Fairhaven for 46 years on June 13, 2025. I started as a line staff member in the housekeeping department and worked my way up through the positions of supervisor, and manager and then became the Department Director. I have had the privilege of working under all three of Fairhaven’s CEO’s.

The main reason I have remained at Fairhaven for as many years as I have is my love for the residents. The relationships formed with them are a bond that is extremely special. What is even more special is that I now serve residents that I originally met when they were younger when they came to visit their parents or other relatives.

Another reason that I enjoy working at Fairhaven is that I have a dedicated and hardworking housekeeping team who also truly care about the residents and each other, as does the staff in the other departments. I consider Fairhaven staff and residents to be my second family.

I am an active member of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit #166 of Fort Atkinson WI. Which is the city in which I live. When not volunteering for programs for my ALA Unit, I enjoy spending my spare time playing cards, board & dice games, and going up to the Northwoods with extended family members and friends.
