Sonny joins Silverado Barton Springs with a history of many roles at the Silverado Southlake community in Dallas-Fort Worth. Sonny completed her Licensed Master’s of Social Work from Texas Christian University and her Bachelor’s of Social Work from University of North Texas. Her journey with Silverado began with a housekeeping and laundry aide position she accepted on a whim while in school for her Bachelor’s. From day one, she fell in love with the memory care setting and the Silverado philosophy, aiming to move into a social worker role in the future. In her final semester for her Bachelor’s degree, Sonny served as the Southlake community’s social work intern. Post Bachelor’s, Sonny spent years as a licensed social worker in hospice and palliative care alongside pursuing her Master’s degree, all while remaining part time with Silverado in a variety of roles with experience in caregiving, engagements, and reception. Sonny’s light shines in her encounters with residents, and she views knowing and serving residents and their families as an honor and a blessing.
Sonny is from the DFW area but has been a frequent visitor of Austin over the years. As a music lover, Sonny has many years of experience playing the French Horn and spent summers marching with the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps, including an additional season serving as the sous chef on the corps food truck. She is also fond of antiquing, travel, fashion, crafting, and her two cats!
