What do you love most about your job?
Blair Ridge feels like home! Staff and colleagues are like family - they were super helpful when I was expecting. I enjoy our theme dinners and theme dress up days, and I love the interaction I have with our residents. I like to learn about them and learn from their life stories and experiences.
What is the best advice a resident has given you?

If you could tell your story in six words, what would those words be?
Live, love, laugh, respect, kind, pray.
Have you held a staff-led activity? If so, what was it?
During our recent “Celebrating Traditions of Asia” Theme Week, I led an activity to teach and show residents about the culture in India. I brought in a variety of traditional jewelry and clothing for them to see from India.
If you could look back on your life and give your younger self advice, what would it be?
