Tammy Schmall
Executive Director
Tammy grew up in Firebaugh California in a small farming community 65 miles west of Fresno, where everyone knew everyone. From the time she was little girl she was very close to her grandmother. Tammy started her career in 1989 as a nursing assistant, then went on to become a CNA for several years. She then was transferred to become an Activity Assistant for a couple of years after which she was promoted to the Director. Working with seniors for the last 34 years has been a true blessing and it has become part of who she is today.
