My role involves liaising directly with hospitals, hospice, assisted living, skilled rehabilitation, and memory care facilities to ensure home care for seniors. With a background in marketing and sales within the hospitality industry spanning two decades, I’ve developed a passion for seniors, nurtured by being mainly raised by my grandparents. It’s an honor to work for a company deeply committed to their care. Spokane has been my home for most of my life, where I’ve raised three wonderful boys who mean the world to me. Additionally, I have a twin sister residing in Dallas, whom I love visiting whenever possible. I’m an outdoor enthusiast, particularly fond of activities involving water, whether it’s by the lake or poolside. Spending quality time with family and friends is what I cherish most.
