Office Manager
Meg Enroth
I like to think of myself and the work that I contribute in the role of Office Manager as “the hub of the wheel”. It’s not very glamorous, but extremely vital.
After graduating from Iowa State University with a Bachelors of Science degree in Textiles, I spent five years working in London, England as a buyer for a well-known department store. I definitely broadened my list of life experiences with many trips throughout Europe as part of my work. My next stop was in Johannesburg, South Africa for two more fascinating years of social and cultural interaction with other nationalities.
When I returned to the United States, I chose to pursue my love of interior design and worked as a designer for the next 25 years in Washington State. As I worked with my clients, I developed a desire to serve in a different way and to a specific group: seniors.
For six years prior to joining the team at Community Choice, I served as the Office Manager of a large retirement and assisted living facility. I found this was a place where my people skills combined with my finely honed organizational skills could be utilized well.
I am pleased to continue to work in an environment where I can contribute to the betterment of the lives of those we serve.
