CANTON REGENCY COMMUNITY - Key Persons
Being part of a family of nurses, I knew right away where I wanted to spend my life's passion. I have been a nurse for 17 years in various roles throughout my experience. Senior Living has always been a passion of mine and I feel that caring for our elders and giving back to our community makes me feel whole. Every day we make an enormous difference in creating a safe, home-like, generous, and loving space for senior living. Everyday I get to come to work and witness how we at The Canton Regency assist our residents with retaining a purpose of life, energy and love.
When I am not working, I spend my time with my family. My partner Jeff, my two girls Kendyl and Ragyn and our furry kids Charlie, Fynn and Stanley.

I graduated from Colorado Technical University in 2012 with an MBA in Business Administration. I have been at Canton Regency for 11 years and before that I spent 3 years working at a skilled nursing facility and 18 years at a hospital.
I love getting to know each of our residents and learning more about their life experiences. They know I am always there to help, whether it's figuring a cell phone issue to answering questions about services we can provide. It brings me joy to go above and beyond providing excellent customer service for our residents and families. I've heard some amazing stories in my many years with the Regency!
I have been a nurse for 16 years and in the healthcare industry for 18 years. I've held various roles in different facilities/communities which all have led to my experience and passion that I have today to do my job. What I love most about my job is having the opportunity to help and comfort people in their most vulnerable stage of life. When I'm not taking care of residents or helping staff, I enjoy shopping, vacationing and spending time with my family, my husband Josh, my 2 step sons and our 3 dogs.
I've been at the Canton Regency for 27 years and I've worked in many capacities, including receptionist, sales, and marketing. I'm usually the very first person you will see when you come to Canton Regency and my goal is always to provide a warm and inviting feel for any new resident or guest.
I'm responsible for helping make Canton Regency festive for all holidays and events. This includes new resident dinners, honoring our veterans, and decorating for the holidays.
I absolutely love talking to our residents! When they come up to me with questions they think I'm helping them but they are helping me too!
