Reva’s healthcare journey began at an impressively young age. As a junior in high school, she enrolled in the State Fair VoTech program, earning her CNA license. Since then, Reva has gained valuable experience in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, assisted living and memory care communities. Furthermore, she has expanded her credentials by obtaining certifications as a Level I Medication Aide (LIMA) and a Certified Medication Technician (CMT).

Reva’s path into healthcare was deeply personal having experienced her father’s passing at only 16 years old. During the two months leading up to his passing, she played a significant role in caring for him. This experience influenced Reva’s decision to pursue nursing. Today, she continues to thrive as a nurse, specializing in long-term care and memory care. Reva strives to lead with love when caring for residents, as it evidently brings them joy and happiness.

Outside of Silverado, Reva enjoys baking and spending quality time with her loved ones. Recently, she embarked on a new venture alongside her twin brother, starting a small baked goods business, where she finds joy in creating different sugar cookies and other baked goods.
