Board

My husband Neal and I moved to River Oaks in 2019, with my mother,

Genelle, 89 yrs. young! We had been coming monthly to Richmond Hill

to visit our daughter and family for 7 years prior to deciding this is where

we wanted to live in our retirement. We lived in Monroe, NC for 26years,

also Mass & MD for a few years establishing our careers. We have been

married for 43years.

 

Tilley is our rambunctious, cute as a button Cavapoo that many of you 

know from walking thru the neighborhood! Our free time is spent with

grandchildren here and Ainsworth, Nebraska and traveling the world!

I have had two careers over the course of my life. First and foremost,

Registered Nurse, with my focus on Emergency Department Nursing

for 30 years. Then simultaneously, working as an Independent Sales

Rep. with BSN Medical / Essity North America for some 20 years; revenue
of 15Billion. I handled every aspect for these orthopaedic products from 

negotiating contracts in the early days to sales & educational training of

end users in Hospitals, Orthopaedic offices and Urgent Care Centers in

NC/SC. 

 

I love working with people and plan on giving 100% to the HOA

in maintaining and improving our beautiful community! Positivity and open

communication for all residents living in River Oaks is what I will strive to

provide as an At-Large member of the Board.

I have been a part time resident of River Oaks since 2021and this year have made this my permanent home along with my husband Jim, mother-in-law Grace and dog Haley. Since joining the community, I have been actively involved as Secretary of the HOA Board, as a team member in the Garden & Landscaping Club, and as one of the leads for the 2024 painting project.

 

Although born and raised in Indiana, I have lived across the country in Texas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and most recently upstate New York. I enjoyed a 38-year career in health care as a pharmacist before retiring in 2018. The first half of my career was in hospital pharmacy where I held the position of Pharmacy Director in hospitals in Texas and New Jersey. The latter half of my work was with a large national hospital alliance where my roles included hospital executive relationship management, project oversight for large cost reduction initiatives, and managing clinical leadership networks for our alliance members. My career allowed me to collaborate in multidisciplinary teams in the areas of compliance, performance improvement, business strategies, marketing and professional education and leadership strategies. I highly enjoy collaborative work and driving forward for improvement.

 

Retirement has allowed me to further indulge in a variety of activities and interests, including quilting, fly fishing, travel, and most recently pickle ball.
