I love working with the elderly population in a facility setting because I can utilize my education and still connect to our residents and families on a personal level
I have had the pleasure of working in senior living for approximately 14 years. I have a background in social work, and an MBA from King University. I love working with the elderly population in a facility setting because I can utilize my education and still connect to our residents and families on a personal level. I was born and raised in Western North Carolina and feel honored to be able to care for and serve the community that I grew up in. The residents that we serve at Mitchell House were the building blocks of our country, and I feel privileged that I can help care for them in this stage of their lives. I strive to make the lives of those around me better and to make our facility a safe, and comfortable place for everyone.
