I was born and raised in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, a small town located on Lake Michigan and moved to Florida in 1975. I came to The Palms of Largo with 27 years experience in long term care. In April of 2003, I joined the team at Sabal Palms as the Director of Admissions and, with the help of the Admissions team, have been successful in winning the Full-House Award for three out of four years at Sabal Palms.

In September of 2007, I transferred to Cypress Palms as the Resident Services Coordinator; then in March of 2009, I became the Resident Services Director.

I have four girls ranging in age from 22 to eight years old, two grandchildren, a dog, cat, and many koi fish that I've raised for years. My hobbies include reading, gardening, and any type of home improvements.
