I joined Heron Pointe Senior Living in 2016. I learned to cook great home-cooked meals for large groups from my mother over 25 years ago and have loved being in the kitchen ever since. I love to make my residents their favorite comfort food. Nothing is better than having them come to me after and say, “Can we have that every week?!” I also really enjoy having my weekly “menu chat” with my residents. We have a great time discussing food, recipes and they help me plan the menus and holiday dining events.
