Andi Perry is the Human Resources Manager for Stevenson Oaks in the MRC family.  With 8 years of HR background, she looks forward to growing her career in the Senior Living industry.

Andi's father was a career Air Force officer and pilot, allowing her to experience many cultures across the world growing up. Her mother was an award-winning teacher, and she always thought she would follow in her mother's footsteps.  College gave her the opportunity to expand her talents and horizons, and she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Vocal Music.  She realized that the classroom was not the path for her, and learned later that Human Resources was her calling.  Being of service to employees who make up the fabric of a company has filled her passion of personal connection and growth.

Andi still finds time to fulfill her love of singing when she can- it's where she really feels closest to God.  Her husband since 1999, Josh, is the Director of Bands in a local school district, and together they have raised a couple of fantastic dogs. They love to cook together, travel, and attend live musicals and events.  Andi also has discovered her love of Pickleball and the community of women that have come along with it.

She is most fulfilled in the presence of others who can collaborate and come together to create a wonderful culture, for both the employees and the residents we serve.

Shelley has 25 years of experience as a wholesale manufacturer’s representative in the apparel and shoe industry. She followed one of her passions and entered the world of cheerleading apparel/uniform sales. As a territory sales manager, she also coordinated cheerleading and dance competitions. After several years in the cheer industry, Shelley transitioned to the Family Services Department of Service Corporation International – Laurel Land Fort Worth. She entered this industry remembering how difficult it was to plan her own mother’s funeral, and saw it as an opportunity to help families during one of the worst times of their lives. At Laurel Land, Shelley helped facilitate the LIFT program, a monthly social event for widows and widowers who have lost their partners. Realizing how much joy she felt helping seniors, she left Laurel Land and joined Stevenson Oaks as a senior living counselor.

Shelley has lived in Fort Worth for over 25 years and attended the University of North Texas. When she’s not busy working, Shelley loves traveling, dancing, spending time with her family and friends, and spoiling her beautiful black Labrador Retriever, Livi.

Diane has spent many years working to help families make the decision and transition into senior living communities. She started her career after caring for her Mom at home for seven months and then realizing she needed more help. After researching, her mom moved into assisted living and then memory care.  Diane felt called by God to take a sales position in a community and knew that is where she was supposed to be. Her daily goal is to help families and seniors navigate the process to get them to the next place whether that is the need for care or just life engagement. Diane considers herself a relocation specialist because she has helped many families make the move from out of town or state.

Diane grew up in Azle, Texas, and is a HUGE TCU Fan! She met her husband at a church camp in 1977 and the couple became best friends early on. She is a two-time breast cancer survivor and she states that “God let me stay to minister to others and share his grace with others.”  When not at work, she enjoys spending time with her two Rhodesian Ridgebacks and loves browsing estate sales!
