Meet Our Passionate Leaders at The Goldton:
Elevating Senior Living in Starkville, MS

Hello everyone! I went to Purdue University and received my bachelors in Recreation Administration in 1991. My husband and I moved to Baton Rouge, La, so he could get his PhD and I went to Southern University for classes in Therapeutic Recreation. I did my intern at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Baton Rouge. While I was in Baton Rouge, I worked at Lady of the Lake in Recreation Therapy in the Rehabilitation Department. Both of these jobs, I was doing Recreation Therapy for Senior Citizens. I also worked at Caring Inc. for children in Recreation Therapy as well.

My husband and I moved to Starkville in 1996, so he could teach at MSU in Plants and Soil Science. I have worked for Starkville Parks for 22 years as a Program Coordinator, doing arts and crafts, special events for Senior Citizens and children. My favorite population to work with is Senior Citizens. They have so many stories to tell and so much knowledge to pass on. I just love talking with them about their hisory!

My husband and I have been married for 33 years and have 2 children. Sara is 20 and attending MSU for education. John is 15 and goes to Starkville High School.
