Throughout her nursing career, she has gained valuable knowledge as a Fertility Charge Nurse, a Gerontology Medical Surgical nurse at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, specializing in Endocrine Disorders and as a Correctional Director of Nursing, overseeing care for over 900 patients. As the Director of Health Services at Silverado Berkeley, Sara looks forward to leading the nursing and caregiving team and ensuring the highest quality of individualized care is delivered with a focus on dignity, respect and love for residents.

She embodies these principles through her empathetic and altruistic nature, showcasing a dedicated passion for her nursing career and commitment to Silverado’s mission of “Love is Greater than Fear.”

Currently residing in the East Bay with her husband and three children, Sara actively involves her family in volunteering and engaging with residents when they visit the community.
