"I joined Sunrise Senior Living as the Associate Executive Director at Sunrise of Plano in March of 2018 but have recently taken on the role of Executive Director at Sunrise of Fort Worth. I have over fifteen years of experience in Planning, Marketing, Operations, Sales Development and Management.
My mother was diagnosed with cognitive impairment (Alzheimer’s/Dementia) in 2007. It was important to me that she received the best care possible. Her condition motivated me to obtain my Caregiver Certification in 2007, so that I could care for her. As her In-Home support caregiver, I was responsible for developing, coordinating and implementing programs and services for my mother until her passing in 2013.
Caring for my mother inspired me to pursue a career in Healthcare and I received my M.B.A in Healthcare Administration. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with my American Bulldog (China).
I am excited to be working for Sunrise Senior Living and look forward to making your loved ones stay here better than you ever expected."

I began my position as a cook, then landed a promotion as lead cook and moved into the Dining Service Coordinator role shortly after in 2017. I was born in Mexico and always loved to cook as a child.
