Our Team

Over the past 10 years, I have worked with seniors as a nursing home administrator, housing director, and regional director in the states of Wisconsin, Idaho, and Oregon.

When I'm not at Plaza, I love having fun with my wife, Jill, and our two children. A fan of being outdoors, I like sports, as well as hunting and fishing. I grew up in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, and played college football at Valley City State.

I’ve had a passion for older adults for as long as I can remember. I had a close relationship with my grandparents, so after my grandmother moved into an assisted living community, I got my first job as a server. Since then, I’ve worked in the medical device and home care industries before coming to Plaza in 2018.

I love connecting with seniors and their families every day, helping them navigate the senior living landscape. Older adults have so much knowledge and life experience. They are simply the best, and their stories stay with me. I have a knack for helping people find what they’re looking for and strive to show compassion by remembering details. In 2020, I graduated from Leading Age Minnesota’s Leadership Academy.

In my free time, I enjoy trying new restaurants, being outside, and hammocking. My husband, Mike, and I have a teenage son named Andre and a chocolate lab named Hudson. Mike and Andre and involved with the Roseville youth sports program, so we’re often cheering and volunteering.

I’ve been passionate about working with older adults, since I was 16 years old. From serving as a CNA to working in life enrichment, I love knowing I am making a difference. I’ve been honored to receive Leading Age Minnesota’s District G Caregiver of the Year award in 2014, as well as the Multi-housing Achievement in Design, Advertising, and Community Support (MACDACS) Outstanding/Innovative Resident Service award.

I joined the Walker team in 2017. At Plaza, I create and implement a variety of engaging activities and programs for residents. I also oversee our budget, assist new residents by helping create care plans when they move in, and manage our wonderful life enrichment team. I love to throw big events that bring people together for fun. Bringing joy to the lives of seniors each and every day – that’s why I do what I do.

In my free time, you can find me spending time with my children and 10 grandchildren.

 Of all the roles I’ve had during my career of more than 30 years, being at Walker has been the most rewarding. My sister worked at Walker, and I heard about her experience––so when I needed a change, I knew I'd love it here.

On a daily basis, I make sure residents receive their statements on time, ensure details are correct, and help solve issues if they arise. I also meet with all new residents to welcome them to Plaza and go over their leases. As many peoples’ go-to person, I’m known for being organized and following through, and I do my best to lead by example. My philosophy is that I never ask someone to do something I wouldn’t be willing to do myself. Something new happens at Plaza every day, and I love seeing and learning from residents.

In my free time, I enjoy working in my yard and garden, doing DIY projects, and spending time with family and friends.
