Sophia Breonna White

WELLNESS COORDINATOR

My name is Sophia Breonna White. I am 26 years old. I was born and raised in Anderson SC. Right before high school I had an interest in the medical field and decided to volunteer at AnMed over the summer. Volunteering then sparked my interest in Health Science classes during high school which led me to graduate as a Certified Nursing Assistant in 2015. I started out my career at an assisted living facility in Anderson SC. I was trained thoroughly as a MedTech/Caregiver and eventually moved to our sister facility Oakview Park in 2018. I shortly became a supervisor. Growing daily and going above and beyond, led me to where I am now here at Legacy Reserve at Fairview Park since July 2022 as the Wellness Coordinator. I ensure the care of our residents in both Assisted Living and Memory Care. I schedule and oversee the nursing department employees. I address concerns that arise with families and residents, etc. My main goal every day is to make sure our residents are happy and cared for and that I make a difference in the lives of others.

Before coming to Legacy I had worked in Hospice for sixteen years, in the field, as a Bridge Coordinator, and as Clinical Liaison.

Darren Pruit

Assisted Living & Mc Dining room director

I am the Dining Director at Fairview Park, I am 33 years old and I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve this community. I love cooking and having the leadership role that I have been given.

I started cooking at a young age watching and learning from my grandmother. I grew up watching chefs on tv like Bobby Flay, Gorden Ramsey and many more. But my inspiration has definitely been my grandmother. I have had many jobs as a cook or sous chef. I worked at Toccoa college in Georgia as a sous chef for 2 years. And various restaurants as a cook throughout the years. I have been with this company for a year and a half now and its been amazing.

I am the father to two beautiful girls who are 9 and 10 years old. They love for me to cook for them and they love helping me and learning how to do things in the kitchen. I just recently got engaged to a beautiful woman which I have been blessed with being with for three years and hopefully many more. I have an amazing loving family who supports me through anything. And the best for last to my grandfather who passed six months ago I wouldn’t be where I am at now or be the man I am today if it wasn’t for him. I strive everyday to be the best man I can be and to do the best I can with each opportunity given to me.
