Our Leadership Team
Natalie White
Executive Director
I am so excited to be back with the Atlas family. My career started working with Marriott Hotels in sales and operations for 12 years in New Jersey and Maryland. During this time I had an opportunity to volunteer at a senior living community and have now been in this career for 23 years. I am fortunate to continue in this field where I have worked in sales and as an Executive director. I majored in sociology in college and enjoyed learning about people and their lives. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my two children who are in high school and college. My mother has always been my role model through out my career as she was a nurse and volunteered with the British Red Cross in England. It is my privilege to now work at the Canopy of Westridge and care for the lovely residents and their families.

Barbara Glass

Barbara was born in Savannah, Georgia, and has lived in Georgia her whole life. She began her career in the healthcare field over 25 years ago. After her former colleague encouraged her to work at a standalone memory care community in Macon, Georgia, she found a lifelong passion of caring for seniors. She started working as a caregiver and quickly moved up the ranks gaining more experience and knowledge in caring for those with Dementia.

She begins each day with the hope of fulfilling that goal in some way.

Joey Chenot
Dining Director
While residing in Naples, Florida, I have honed my culinary expertise across various esteemed country clubs, collaborating with exceptional chefs along the way. My culinary journey began at Golf Harbor Country Club in Fort Myers, where I seized the opportunity as a grill cook, skillfully preparing an array of proteins such as veal chops, lamb rack, duck breast, filet mignon, and more. Venturing to Naples, I continued my culinary exploration as a grill cook at Mediterra Country Club, delving into the realms of soups, sauces, and off-site catering.
Under the guidance of CIA graduate Chef Gregg John, I absorbed invaluable culinary insights, cultivating my passion for the art of cooking. Drawing inspiration from culinary luminaries like Thomas Keller, Gordon Ramsay, John George, and Charlie Trotter, I dedicated the first decade of my career to working under exceptional chefs at various country clubs. Notably, I had the privilege of preparing meals for distinguished figures such as George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, and even the bass player of AC/DC – a surreal experience, to say the least!
Transitioning to a new chapter in my life, I married Erica Klaw and relocated to the vibrant state of Georgia. At Ansley Golf Club, I assumed the role of Sous Chef, overseeing Sunday brunch and curating menus for lunch and dinner. After a rewarding three-year tenure, I embraced a Chef position at the Defoors Center, a cafe specializing in weddings and banquets. Following a successful two-year stint, I embraced the role of DSD/Chef at Saint Ann’s Terrace Independent Living, where my culinary creations brought joy to residents.
Now, I am thrilled to bring my culinary passion and leadership skills to Legacy Ridge as the Dining Director, committed to crafting exceptional dining experiences for all.
