Leadership Team
My love for the healthcare field and caring for others began while serving in the United States Army as a combat medic as both an active duty and recently as a reserve member. I was able to learn a great deal while serving my country; however, I found my passion for the elderly as a caregiver at Oakwood Village in 2014. In order to fulfill the desire to serve the elderly in our community, I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Healthcare Administration and Management from Colorado State University. Born and raised in Auburn, CA.; I feel a deep connection to the community and taking part in giving back.
As the Executive Director, I am dedicated to providing a community that encourages seniors to welcome a new chapter of life in which they can not only receive quality care but an environment to continue enjoying their lives in.
As the Maintenance Director, Ryan has been making sure that Oakwood’s facilities are modern, efficient, comfortable and running smoothly since July 2000. With over 25 years in the business of managing facilities for the senior community, he feels a special connection to our residents and takes great pride in making sure everyone stays safe, happy and comfortable. Besides being the go-to-guy who can fix anything, his friendly demeanor and caring smile make him a favorite at Oakwood Village.
Angel has previously worked at Oakwood Village's sister community, Sierra Regency as the head cook for four years. He is very dedicated to what he does and focuses on meeting all the dietary needs of our residents. Angel is responsible for preparing the weekly menu, maintaining compliance with food safety and overseeing the culinary staff. Angel works closely with the residents to maintain culinary satisfaction and also enjoys accepting new meal ideas from residents. He takes pride in what he does and is open to help in any way he can.

In March 2018 Mariah started working here at Oakwood Village in the Caregiving Department. A year later she joined the Activities Department where she had the opportunity to use her creative side and quickly found her place as Activities in March 2019.

As the concierge, Amy gets the opportunity to grow in connection with the residents, family members, and other visitors who come to the community. She loves being able to connect with people on a personal level, as well as professionally because she feels that it helps in developing relationships that could last a lifetime. Being the face that people first see, it is a pleasure and honor for Amy to represent the friendliness and joyful atmosphere of Oakwood Village. She is grateful for her position here at Oakwood, and for being part of this team!
