Meet Our Team

My 13 years in a Senior Advisement career has focused on helping older adults and their families navigate the complex world of senior living, home care, downsizing and moving, selling a home, estate sales, elder law, financial guidance, and more.  My profession of navigating the "senior maze", with its unexpected twists and turns, began with my own personal experience helping family members and friends.  I have learned over the years how extremely overwhelming it can feel trying to make the best decisions for yourself or your loved ones.  I started Triangle Senior Specialists to create a clearer path for seniors and their families on their journey to become informed about options and resources.

(GO MOUNTAINEERS!)

I enjoy cookouts with family and friends along with attending Carolina Hurricanes and Durham Bulls games with my son and wife.  We have one dog that loves his daily walks and he's a big fan of his walks at the mountains and the beach.   

With 16 years of experience in the senior living industry, I have dedicated my career to supporting and enriching the lives of older adults.  For my first 8 years, I taught senior fitness classes at various assisted living and memory care communities, helping residents stay active, healthy, and engaged.  I then spent 8 rewarding years in marketing an active adult community, where I had the privilege of building lasting relationships and creating vibrant experiences for our senior residents.

Now, I'm thrilled to join TSS, where I'll continue my passion for guiding seniors as they explore and choose the best senior living options for their next chapter.  It's especially meaningful for me to work alongside Richard Hiatt - a person I've known and deeply respected for many years.  His integrity, compassion, and commitment to excellence inspire me, and I'm proud to be part of a team that shares my values.

Combined family of 5 children and 2 dogs.  A house is not a home without a dog!  I love the mountains and the beach.

 I have 15 years of experience as a social worker for seniors living independently, those needing assistance in a community or requiring resources at home, and an advocate for residents of skilled nursing facilities and memory care units.   My passion is helping others, and social work has allowed me to do just that.  I look forward to the opportunity to provide support to you and your family!

I am a mom and wife in a house with 4 boys, 2 dogs, and 1 cat. I adore children and animals, and enjoy reading and watching movies.    

It is a privilege to work with such a trustworthy company and team. While working in the Triangle for over ten years as publisher of a senior magazine, I met some of the finest folks in the industry.  During that time, I watched Richard Hiatt work tirelessly to serve senior families through many outlets. 

I enjoy assisting seniors and their families in understanding the various types of senior communities and senior resources that are in place to support them.
