Meet Our Exceptional Leadership Team: Guiding Senior Living Excellence in Summerville, SC
Jessica Singletary
Executive Director
Hello, my name is Jessica Singletary, and I am honored to serve as the Executive Director of Wildcat Senior Living.
I was born and raised in the small town of St. Stephen, South Carolina, where I still reside today with my husband and our five beautiful children. Family has always been at the center of my life, and it is one of the many reasons I am so passionate about caring for others.
My educational journey began at Claflin University, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Biology. Although I enjoyed the sciences, I quickly realized my true passion was caring for people. That passion led me back to school at Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College, where I earned my Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) credential.
Throughout my healthcare career, I have been fortunate to work in several areas, including long-term care, women’s health, and assisted living. I eventually became a Resident Care Director, and it was during my time in assisted living that I discovered where my heart truly belonged. I loved building relationships with residents and their families and making a positive impact in their daily lives.
Wanting to grow as a leader and better serve the senior population, I returned to school and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration from Purdue University in 2020. After graduating, I began my administrative career in an all-memory care community, where I gained valuable experience caring for residents living with dementia and other cognitive challenges. In 2023, I transitioned to a larger senior living community that offered Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care services, allowing me to broaden my experience and leadership skills.
Today, I am proud to lead the team at Wildcat Senior Living. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming environment where residents feel at home, families feel supported, and team members are empowered to provide exceptional care. I believe every resident deserves dignity, respect, and the opportunity to live life to the fullest.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my children, gardening, and getting lost in a good book. No matter where my career takes me, my passion for caring for others remains at the heart of everything I do. It is truly a privilege to serve our residents and their families, and I look forward to being part of their journey.
Tyaisha Duncan
Sales Counselor
Hello! My name is Tyaisha “Ty” Duncan, and I am the Sales Counselor at Wildcat. I have been serving seniors and their families in the senior living industry for over 10 years, and I truly love what I do. There is nothing more rewarding than helping families find peace of mind when it comes to caring for their loved ones. My experience spans both frontline and behind-the-scenes roles, giving me a comprehensive understanding of senior living and allowing me to confidently guide families through every step of the journey.
My passion has always been helping others. I believe that compassion, understanding, and genuine care can make a lasting difference in people’s lives. That’s why I know I’m in the right industry. Every day, I have the opportunity to help improve the quality of life for seniors and support families during important life transitions. My goal is to help seniors continue to thrive as they age while ensuring their families feel supported and informed.
I am a proud Charleston native and couldn’t imagine calling anywhere else home unless it’s somewhere tropical outside of the United States! I love Charleston’s beautiful weather, rich culture, and incredible fresh seafood. In my spare time, you’ll often find me exploring new restaurants, trying out creative recipes, creating art, enjoying music, expressing myself through fashion, or planning my next tropical getaway.
I graduated from North Charleston High School and attended South Carolina State University, where I studied Nutrition and Food Management. I chose that field because I believe food can be a powerful source of healing and wellness. I’ve always wanted to help heal the world in my own way, whether through food, kindness, compassion, or simply being there when someone needs support.
Above all, I am a proud mother to my amazing daughter, who inspires me every day. She is the light that guides my decisions and the motivation behind everything I do.
I am excited to be part of the Wildcat team and look forward to meeting future residents and their families. I would love the opportunity to get to know you, answer your questions, and help you find the right place to call home.
Come visit me. I look forward to meeting you!
