New & Familiar Faces Have Joined Our Leadership
Over the last several months, MorningStar of Boulder has had the honor to welcome some new as well as familiar faces to our leadership team. These loving, dedicated individuals are an important part of our community as they help to inspire and guide our team in delivering exceptional senior retirement living for all of our residents.
We are pleased to welcome back Tracie Roberts who rejoined our team in February as our Executive Director. Tracie has been with MorningStar for over eleven years and each community and position she has served in has been the better for it. Tracie relates how she and her five siblings grew up in a home right next door to her great-grandparents, Raymond and Dorothy. She adds theirs was a “home of comfort and safety…and a place to be spoiled rotten!” Her family also lived close to grandparents, Ed and Ginny, and Tracie acquired her caregiving skill by helping care for Ed through a cancer diagnosis. Now more than a decade later as a senior caregiver has made Tracie feel even more committed to her chosen career and explains, that, “Seniors amaze me. Even on their hardest days, our residents offer endearing hugs and heartfelt thanks.”
Erin Pfarr serves as our Wellness Director and feels that nothing is more rewarding than serving those who are the most deserving. She says seniors give us the wisdom of their years and teach us how to appreciate and celebrate life. Erin was initially drawn to the history and mission of MorningStar and recognized it was the ideal place to serve seniors. And speaking of coincidences, Erin’s grandparents lived on a mountain in Oregon where they had 40 acres they called “Morning Star.”
Rounding out the team is our Director of Community Relations, Jennifer Ptacek. Jennifer was lucky enough to grow up with all four grandparents and they were the first seniors she ever loved. They had a significant impact on her life and contributed to the person she is today. She says seniors have taught her to live each day to the fullest and to take nothing for granted.
Along with our extraordinary leadership, we are blessed to have an entire team that feels privileged to serve seniors.
