For the past ten years, Heather has made her mark in senior care working a wide variety of roles including an administrator, executive chef, sous-chef and care provider. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management from Sacramento City College and her Associate Degree in Culinary Arts from Le Cordon Bleu.
As Newport-Mesa’s Administrator, Heather strives to get to know her associate team on a personal level and build a familial relationship. She recognizes how important it is to become a family to ensure residents and their loved ones are receiving the best care and support. Heather hopes to change the stigma around senior living and help others see communities as an extension of a resident’s home. “Senior living has evolved and isn’t a nursing home anymore,” she shares.
Heather moved to Southern California from Davis, CA and currently resides with her wife, three-year old son named Shai and two dogs. Heather enjoys the outdoors, hiking, going to the beach, hockey and is a fan of the San Jose Sharks.
