I am the sales director for Chandler Place and Pond View. Generally I am the first person you may meet when you are inquiring about our community. One of my roles is to provide you with the information you need to fully understand and appreciate our community and the benefits you will experience when you move in.

I have worked in the field of senior services and long term care since 1984. I have filled many roles including Director of Nutrition Services for three skilled nursing facilities and housing administrator for a variety of senior apartment communities. During my 14 year tenure as a senior housing administrator, I was involved in, among other duties, the creation of on-site home care services and the development of a new on-site home care agency, developing and implementing the operational plan for two new senior apartment and assisted living communities and in writing a successful grant for funds to build a new affordable senior community.

I enjoy public speaking and have spoken to audiences on the state and national level on a variety of topics related to services for older adults. I have a Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutrition and a Masters degree in Management and Administration.

I live with my husband and two dogs in Blaine, Minnesota. We have four adult children and five granddaughters. We enjoy attending Minnesota Vikings games, spending time with our grand-children and NASCAR.
