While attending FSU, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in rehabilitative services, one of my favorite jobs was working in the activities department in a memory care unit. I enjoyed figuring out what made each resident happy, and then helping them enjoy each moment. After college, I worked at a private club for 10 years as a membership manager, and I loved the relationships I built with the members. After my second child was born, it was an easy decision to stop working and enjoy my children. Around that time, my grandparents moved to Florida. It was such a gift to spend quality time with them and help them in a caregiving role. This left me with such a love, appreciation for, and understanding of older adults. I was blessed to be with them as they aged and moved from independent living to assisted living, and two of them to a memory care facility. Finding the right facility is everything. We were very happy with our selections, and I want to help you make the right decision as well. Now that my children are independent teenagers, I am ready to go back to work. I want to combine my appreciation for older adults and my strong desire for everyone to be in their perfect home, with my determined skills to make it so. It’s not just about a job, but a passion for helping people and developing relationships. I am eager to give families peace of mind during this overwhelming process. You can trust that I will work hard to find you the best home for your loved one, with the right needs and desires for them. I am very excited to join David and Melanie’s Oasis team in Jacksonville. I have lived here for 30 years and know this city well. I look forward to working with you, and helping you or your loved one transition into a new home that will help them thrive!
