Shawna – Sales Director

Shawna has been with Waverly Place since May 2025. She came to us with 22 years of sales & marketing experience. She started a career in Title & Escrow. Shawna pivoted from Title & Escrow to Senior Living during the year of 2007. She was recruited for a Sales Manager position at a community in Eugene OR, where she is from. This career turned into a strong passion as her connection with families and helping them brought to light, the compassion and empathy that families need during the difficult and life-changing decisions they need to make. Shawna personally went through this with own parents and family, during this time. When she is away from the community, she enjoys spending her time with family, grandkids, and friends, she is a loyal Oregon Ducks fan and when the weather cooperates, she loves being on the golf course, hoping to play at least bogie golf!
