My very first job was in Fairhaven’s dining services 21 years ago. I fell in love with the community Fairhaven is.

After I graduated high school, I went on to almost 3 years of nursing school at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, I did not complete my degree due to some road blocks of life, but I truly believe everything happens for a reason. I went and got my CNA license and started a career in helping care for people with dementia. I worked as a CNA in a memory care home for 11 years before I came back to Fairhaven and took the position I have currently.

I just celebrated my 7th year anniversary as the manager of Hearthstone the memory care unit for Fairhaven. I love being able to use my knowledge, experience, and compassionate personality to help the residents living with dementia and their families receive the care they deserve and need. Fairhaven has given me the opportunity to continue with my love and passion in the caregiving field.
