With over 20 years of experience in healthcare and hospitality, it has been my goal to improve the well-being of seniors. My education includes both physical therapy and healthcare administration.  I have held the Executive Director position in Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care communities for 7+ years.

Prior to working in senior living communities, I was the Director of Therapy/Rehab in skilled nursing facilities and hospital systems.

I am excited to be working at Pine Ridge of Hayes and look forward to ensuring our residents have an amazing place to call home.

I have a soft place in my heart for seniors. It brings me so much joy creating an interactive activities program that enhances their independence and quality of life. Activities are essential for seniors physical and mental well-being. Personally, having my grandparents living in senior living facilities, I know how important it is to not only find them a safe place to live, but to also find a place where they can live their best lives. I’m blessed to work for Pine Ridge who makes both of those a priority! Seniors never lose their desire to interact or have purpose. I enjoy finding ways to keep that alive for them by activities that spark old memories, activities that teach them new things, special outings, and through the friendships that are formed along the way. I always tell our residents my purpose is to keep them young & being able to that for them as a career brings me so much happiness!

I was born in Detroit to a loving traditional Italian family. I was one of 6 children whom my parents were dedicated to raising with faith in God, his love, love of family, and love of others. I have 2 wonderful sons of my own, Jordan Anthony and Brandon Joseph, their beautiful wives and an amazing granddaughter.

As a child my fondest memories come alive as I recall all the beautiful family and friends gathered together at the dining table. The ladies would prepare so many luscious plates, working together so we all could indulge and feel the love in every bite. Until this day this tradition is carried on by next generations. Breaking bread with one another is a joy and a blessing.

It brings me great joy to bring this passion to Pine Ridge of Hayes. I look forward to creating an atmosphere where our residents enjoy dining each day while love, respect, health and well living are shared.

Both of my parents loved living at Pine Ridge of Hayes. It has always been welcoming, and friendly. After my parents passed away, I continued to come visit, and now, as the Business Office Manager, I am one of the team. I am blessed to work with such a wonderful group of residents and staff who feel like family.
