Associate of the Month

I am a dedicated healthcare professional with five years of experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant, and I truly love the work I do. Providing compassionate, dependable, and resident-centered care is something I take great pride in. As a native of Travelers Rest, South Carolina, serving others—especially within my own community—has always been deeply important to me.
In my role as a CNA/caregiver/MedTech, I strive to make each resident feel comfortable, respected, and cared for, even in the smallest moments. I believe consistency, kindness, and teamwork make a meaningful difference, and I do my best each day to support my coworkers and contribute to a positive and reliable work environment. I am the proud mother of a beautiful and truly remarkable 19-year-old daughter, who will always be my baby. Being her mother is one of my greatest joys and has shaped me in countless ways. We share a love for art and creativity and enjoy creating things together. I see many of my own qualities reflected in her, yet hers shine even brighter with the smallest effort—something that fills me with constant pride and admiration. Outside of work, I am a devoted dog mom to two dogs and a cat mom to one special cat I adopted through connections at Spring Park—an experience that reflects my caring nature both on and off the clock. In addition to healthcare, I have been a licensed cosmetologist for 19 years. This background has strengthened my communication skills and my ability to connect with people on a personal level—qualities I bring with me into every resident interaction. At 38 years old, I bring experience, compassion, and a genuine desire to continue growing in both my career and as a person. I am deeply honored and sincerely grateful to be recognized as Employee of the Year. This recognition means so much to me, and I share it with the coworkers, leadership, residents, and families who make my work so meaningful. It is a privilege to care for others, and I am proud to be part of this team.
