Our Team

I LEAN IN to my role as a leader at The Kensington with relentless positivity. I partici-pate in little picture details with determination and a smile so the big picture always looks good.

I draw from the greatness of the residents and colleagues who surround me, and am inspired to deliver back to them all my level best every chance I get.
