I was born and raised in Spokane Washington and moved to the Missoula area in 1982. In 1988 when Riverside first opened, I was hired as a nursing assistant. I worked as a nursing assistant while attending the University of Montana Vo-tech, and in 1990, I completed the LPN program and began my career as a nurse. In 2004, I returned to Riverside as Executive Director after working for another facility in the same company.

I have three adult children and one grandchild, and another one on the way. I enjoy being the Administrator at Riverside Health Care Center and feel blessed to be surrounded by the wonderful staff, residents and families.
