RECREATION IN MY BLOOD, LEISURE WORLD IN MY HEART

Working in Recreation has been in my blood since birth, literally. My mother, Cindy Knowlton, got her Bachelor of Science in Parks and Recreation Management and worked in the industry for over 30 years. Watching the great career she had and all the fun events she got to plan I decided to follow suit. After graduating I had fun finding what I would want to do from working on a cruiseliner to working at a hotel in the FUN department. Thankfully Leisure World had an opening at the right time in my life and I couldn’t be happier.

Being at Leisure World has changed my life all for the better. I have been able to travel with you lovely residents from all over the valley to the Catalina Islands. Encouraged by my management to continue learning more about the industry by attended conferences. Most special of all I met my husband who worked here in the facilities department, celebrating our first year anniversary last February. I am beyond grateful for the connections I have made with you, my residents. I have learned and grown so much as a person because of you.

I can't wait for the years to come working here and being a part of Leisure’s World great history and fun!
