As a property manager for a senior living community, I realized my favorite part of the job was talking to the residents and helping them figure out ways to stay living in their home independently as long as they could. I loved listening to their stories and talking about happier times from their past. I am a very patient person and have raised 3 happy, successful daughters and helped care for my dad as he was losing his battle with cancer. I still help care for my mom as well. I enjoy helping people and try to bring joy into their lives. My husband and I recently moved to the area for a simpler life on the lake. When I left my job in Menasha to move here, my residents had a big going away party and said I was the best manager they had ever had. It brought me so much pride to know that I had impacted theirs lives as much as they had mine.
