Retirement Counselor / Sales Counselor | Brazos Towers at Bayou Manor
Donna has a history with helping people make life changing decisions. Her sales background ranges from Technical Recruiter, IT sales, and New Home Sales, all before “Retirement” living at Brazos Towers and The Hallmark since 2011. Donna says, “This is not a sale, it is a lifestyle choice, so the discovery of the plan for your mature years has powerful components; it is more emotional than a job or buying a home, it is a life change that can offer peace.” Donna has seen what happens when “life events” change your plans. Her parents planned to finish life in their home; but disease had another plan, to change their lives. Donna has seen that a plan can make any road to travel in life easier.

“Discovering your plan before you need it is vital,” she says, and Brazos Towers offers the best. “I know a plan needs to be realized, that happens by discovery. One must consider their health now and tomorrow, their mental and soul stimulation, the cost of unplanned health changes, and the neighbors.  When you travel through the years, you’re happiest if you made the plan, not someone else. Why Brazos Towers? Donna believes her team at Brazos all have the same heartbeat – serving the Resident. Our utmost for their best!
