"I began working for Sunrise in April of 2011, but I have just recently began working at the Siegen location in April of 2018. 

My favorite part of my job is interacting with the residents and learning something new everyday. The best part of working at Sunrise is our entire team and the passion we all have for caring for seniors. 

In my spare time, I enjoy spending it with family and supporting my LSU Tigers. Also, I enjoy reading my mystery books."

Director of Sales

"I began working at Sunrise in 2013. I left to pursue a new opportunity in 2016, but was then re-hired by Sunrise two years later to be the Director of Sales.

I love being able to connect with families and our residents each day. The best part of working here is that it feels like everyone is family. It's wonderful to be able to make a difference in someone's life each day. In my spare time I enjoy reading, spending time with my son and two dogs, and going to Southern University football games."
