Our Support Team

Sara

Sara has a background in the health field from spending years as a CNA before continuing to earn her TMA. She has worked in many areas ranging from hospitals, short term rehab, assisted livings, memory care units, and skilling nursing homes.  She soon began a new journey into the management side of nursing through positions in Health Information and Human Resources. Her passion has always been in the medical field which led her to pursue human resources in both skilled nursing homes and assisted livings.  She brings that understanding of the CNA position into her work in human resources to connect with staff and recruit new staff.

Sara currently lives in the Western Suburbs with her young daughter. In her free time, she enjoys playing with her daughter, spending time with her family, gardening, baking, and reading almost any book. She continues to expand her knowledge in human resources by pursuing a degree in Human Resource Management.
