About Theresa

Theresa’s experience has been in the hospitality industry as well as residential apartment management for many years. She enjoyed helping planners from around the world find the right locations to host their events and was part of the team bringing the Super Bowl and 2028 Olympics to Los Angeles. Theresa is a lifetime learner, leadership fanatic and community connector, and has volunteered as President of several organizations. Theresa joined the Senior Living Industry after two important events in her life. She watched the struggles her grandmother suffered with Alzheimer’s and saw what a huge difference the right memory care community made in the quality of her grandmothers life. She also reached out to A Place For Mom when searching for an Assisted Living community for her father. Her Senior Living Advisor was a wealth of knowledge and relieved the stress of finding the right community for her dad. Her passion is now helping other families by doing the same.

What I'm passionate about:

I believe your experiences in life shape who we are. John Maxwell says, “Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.” I am passionate about helping others and being a lifetime learner. I also enjoy watching sports, reading a book, and listening to music with my family, friends, and two dogs, Riley and Jax.

A Note From Theresa

“I can appreciate how many questions you must have and how overwhelmed you must feel right now. I was once in your shoes. There are different plans for different people. Allow me to be your guide and help you figure out the right plan for you and your loved ones.”
