Jamie brings more than 25 years of experience in senior living to her position as Executive Director for The Landing. For her, this is more than a career — it is a long-standing passion forged by advocating for her own grandmother during her transition into nursing care. This experience brought home the critical role of service excellence and patient-centered care.
She began her career as a clinical nurse in a post-acute care setting and later transitioned into business development, working closely with hospitals to reduce readmission rates through innovative partnerships. Today, she is dedicated to creating environments where residents receive top-quality care, enjoy enriching experiences and engage fully in their communities.
Jamie is married to a retired Air Force veteran and is the proud mother of a daughter studying nursing at The Catholic University of America.
Lawren joined The Landing Alexandria as Director of Sales in July 2023. With more than 25 years of sales, marketing and leadership experience, Lawren is passionate about supporting and building a culture that includes collaboration and teamwork. Prior to transitioning to senior living in 2015, Lawren served in higher education in both development and career counseling leadership roles. She also led an area foundation that provided scholarships for talented DC metro area students who benefitted from additional financial support to complete their education.
Lawren enjoys walking and cycling and recently competed in two sprint triathalons. She cherishes time with family and friends and taking Banx, her golden retriever, on long walks or for swims in the ocean and nearby lakes. She enjoys interior design, gardening, reading, cooking, travelling and creative writing.
Lawren has a BA degree in Art History from Denison University and an MBA from Strayer University. She has completed both the Certified Dementia Program (CDP) and Assisting Living Manager (ALM) certifications.
Tara is a seasoned registered nurse with more than 20 years in the health care field. She has a firm belief that nursing is more than a profession — it is a calling. As the Director of Resident Care, she extends that same sense of calling to deliver a compassionate, resident-centered approach to everything she does.
A graduate of Chamberlain University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Tara has honed her expertise in acute care, skilled nursing and long-term care. However, her true passion lies in senior living, where she feels a deep connection and purpose.
Rowan joined The Landing team in August 2023 as our Senior Living Sales Counselor, bringing empathy, humor and a passion for guiding families through their senior living journey. Originally from Havana and raised in Miami, he kicked off his career in his family’s adult daycare as an activities assistant before earning an associate degree in business from Miami Dade College and a Bachelor of Science in PR, Advertising and Applied Communications from Florida International University. Drawn to the DMV area for its history and seasonal charm, he’s thrilled to grow roots in a region he adores.
A storyteller at heart, Rowan loves connecting with people and helping residents find their perfect fit at The Landing. Outside of work, he loves to draw, run tabletop games, and write—weaving tales that touch on the human experience. Whether he is unwinding with an episode of “Peaky Blinders” or dreaming up his next adventure, Rowan brings the same creativity and care to everything he does.
