Independent Living and Assisted Living at Harrison House Chester County

Born and raised in Coatesville, I have dedicated over 18 years to Harrison House. Starting in the dietary department during high school, I earned my CNA, became a Medication Tech, graduated nursing school, and steadily advanced through roles in nursing and resident services. Before becoming the Executive Director, I served as Director of Community Relations. I am passionate about providing seniors with quality care in a place they truly feel at home. I lead with compassion and experience. I am married with two sons and enjoy watching them play travel baseball and spending time fishing.

I have been employed by Harrison since August 1992. I started as a floor nurse, and held positions such as Administrator, Adult Day Care Director and currently Director of Resident Services. I received the McKnight’s VIP award in 2023, Proclamation from State Rep. Dan Williams and the Department of Aging for 30 years of service. I have always had a passion for nursing, especially in the geriatric field. I was born and raised in Chester County, currently living in Thorndale. I have been married for 28 years, have 2 grown daughters and 1 grandson. I was extremely involved in my youngest daughter’s swimming career that just recently came to an end. So, this means I get to spend more time outdoors enjoying my hobby and passion, landscaping.

With over 20 years of experience in healthcare and senior living, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting others and making a positive impact. I appreciate working at Harrison House because it truly delivers quality care—something I can believe in. It makes my job easier knowing I’m part of a team that produces meaningful, positive outcomes for residents and their families. Outside of work, I’m a proud parent of three and enjoy spending my free time fishing and relaxing outdoors.

I have been working in the Activities Department at Harrison Senior Living for the past 10 years, taking on the role of Director of Activities in 2024.
My passion for staying active carries over into both my personal life and my work.
I’m an avid cyclist, a bowler, and a bocce player. I make time to work out every day – habits that help me bring energy, creativity and enthusiasm to the programs I design for our residents. I also have a deep love of music, which plays a big part in planning engaging entertainment that our community truly enjoys. Helping seniors live vibrant, connected lives is at the heart of everything I do.

Born and raised in Coatesville, I bring decades of experience in banking and investments, with a lifelong passion for community service. After retiring from a successful career in finance, I returned to the workforce part-time as an administrative assistant, where I continue to support others with dedication and care. I’ve proudly served on the Main Street Board in Coatesville and remain deeply committed to uplifting my hometown. One of my greatest joys is working with and advocating for seniors, ensuring they feel valued, heard, and supported.

I spent 25 years working at MEKE, a sewing factory, until it closed — an experience that taught me dedication, hard work, and the value of teamwork. In March of 2009, I began my career at Harrison House. i have always held myself to the highest standards of cleanliness and organization. This dedication to maintaining a spotless, safe environment was one of the key reasons I was promoted into my current leadership position. Not only do I take pride in my work but caring for elderly residents makes my days brighter and more meaningful. Outside of work, I love doing yard work and taking care of my father on weekends. My family means everything to me, and spending time with them keeps me grounded and grateful.
