"I recently transferred to Sunrise of Fort Worth after being the Executive Director at our Sunrise of Plano community since the beginning of 2016.
I have worked in the senior living industry since 1985 where I started as a Receptionist in a skilled nursing facility. I continued my career growth and eventually relocated my family to Austin in 1995. Since starting my career in senior living, I have worked in numerous departments within a community before being promoted to the Executive Director position in 1997. I have two daughters, Jennifer and Alyse and I also have three grandchildren, Austin, Brody and Graelynn. I recently relocated to the Fort Worth area with my teacup Chihuahua, Oliver, who you might see around the community."
“I have worked in sales leadership roles in the healthcare industry since 1996 before having the pleasure of joining the Sunrise team in 2016.
I love working for Sunrise because of the residents! At Sunrise of Fort Worth, I get to bring solutions and peace of mind to families—often during difficult times—which then bring joy to the families once again. With more than 35 years of providing assisted living and memory care, I am confident that we are able to provide a superior level of service that is unsurpassed in the industry.
In my free time, I enjoy an active lifestyle. I spend most of my free time cooking, but also enjoy fitness and the outdoors, traveling, and watching my boys play baseball and golf.”
“Before joining the Fort Worth team, I worked in the healthcare industry in various hospital and residential settings for more than 12 years.
One of the best parts about my job is that I always get to come to work and spend time with my Sunrise family; I get to interact with each individual resident and their family members which is a real treat.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my young daughter and my husband.”
"I started at Sunrise in 2016, prior to that I enjoyed working with persons with Dementia and their families for 12 years; 10 of the years were at the North Central Texas Alzheimer’s Association. The best part of my job is spending time with the residents, families and the team members; we laugh, we cry and share our heart with each other.
In my spare time I love spending time with my family and friends, cooking, shopping and exercising."
"I began at Sunrise of Forth Worth in October of 2016, but I have worked in the senior living industry since 1993 and as an activity coordinator since 2013.
Everyday is a blessing because I get to bring purpose to the lives of our residents. When I see and hear them laugh and have fun, it simply makes my day each time!The best part of working at Sunrise is knowing that the company truly cares about their residents and upholds their mission on a daily basis.
In my spare time, I generally spend time with my family. I have two grandchildren that I spend most of that time with, and I also love to read."
"I have worked at Sunrise since May of 2017. Prior to Sunrise I was an Office Manager for 20 years. My favorite part of my job is interacting with residents and their families as well as the relationships I've built with our team members. The best part of working at Sunrise is being able to help the families of our residents and be an advocate for our employees.
