Where did you attend school/college/university?

Greenfield High School

Western Governors University

Were there any significant experiences or influences during your education that shaped your career or personal life?

I have always been passionate about helping people. I knew I wanted to work in a field where I could make a difference. My dad passed away in a nursing home, and the social worker at the facility really helped us through my dad’s journey. I decided to pursue a career in social work to help other families just like someone helped mine.

What is your current job title and role?

Social Services Director

Can you describe your career journey and key milestones?

I started my career in long-term care in 2016. It is very rewarding to help amazing residents and their loved ones! I treat each one of them like they are my own family and help navigate them from the beginning of their long-term care journey till the end.

What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?

My two children keep me very busy, and I enjoy attending all of their activities! My husband and I like to ride side by sides with our friends. I love to shop, especially at TJ Maxx.

If you could have dinner with any three people, dead or alive, who would they be and why?

My Dad: He passed away in 2015, and I would love to have one more meal with him.

Dolly Parton: A true country girl and savvy businesswoman! I would love to ask her who the infamous “Jolene” was.

Krista Evans: My childhood best friend who lives in Idaho. I haven’t seen her in two years and miss her dearly.
