Leading North Austin Senior Care with Experience

Tech Ridge Oaks | Headshot of Executive DirectorBeing the Executive Director of this extraordinary senior living community in beautiful Austin, Texas is an absolute pleasure.

I have been a nurse for over 40 years. Half that time has been dedicated to serving seniors in various capacities. My heart belongs to this remarkable community.

My early days in health care were spent as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) and nurse (LVN). I worked my way up to Wellness Director, Executive Director, and Regional Director of Operations. Every step of my journey has been about making a difference in the lives of seniors.

I’m also proud to have worked as a national memory care instructor, delving even deeper into the specialized care that our residents deserve.

Supporting assisted living communities in Austin, TX is more than just a job. It’s an incredible privilege to help seniors and make each day better for them. Their life stories and experiences touch my heart in ways they may never realize.

Their presence brings meaning and fulfillment to my life. Every day, I am amazed by the resilience and strength of our residents.

Beyond titles and certifications, I find immense satisfaction in rolling up my sleeves and being wherever needed. My pleasure is overseeing operations, coordinating wellness programs, or simply listening to our residents. I aim to create a warm and caring environment that feels like home.

I have had the honor of working in long-term care for many years. I can say with absolute certainty that residents have had an incredible impact on my life. Their wisdom, laughter, and genuine connection fill me with gratitude, and it’s an absolute joy to be a part of their lives.

Our team at Tech Ridge Oaks is exceptional. Together, we are dedicated to providing compassionate care and support to residents and their families.
