Samantha

Samantha Clark

Celebrations Director

Samantha Clark is a native Floridian and started her career as a high school English teacher in South Florida.  She has always had a connection with her local seniors and even implemented a Grandparents Day at her high school, which is currently an ongoing event.
After staying at home and raising her four children, Samantha decided to follow her passion into senior living. Her part-time position bloomed into a full-time Director of Celebrations, rather organically. She states, “While I loved teaching and sharing my love for literature with young adults, I prefer the challenge of senior living and the constant drive to provide modern and unique programs to my community. Our seniors are active, mentally, and physically, and I love exploring their undiscovered talents, many of whom are just learning to reach beyond their limits. My goal is to seamlessly ease their transition into senior living while also inspiring and motivating them to try something new, every day.
When Samantha isn’t pruning Mariposa’s butterfly garden or writing for our monthly newsletter, she enjoys spending time with her large family. While Samantha claims she still needs to find the balance of caring for her four children and the weekly influx of stray animals that happen to find their way into her home, her fan club of residents feel she has found exactly what she needs at Mariposa.

Fabiola Valcin

Senior Lifestyle Counselor

Born in Haiti and raised in West Palm Beach, worked in the senior living industry since I was 16 years old. Started off as a server and instantly felt drawn to the senior living industry. I went on to work as a receptionist, HHA, then Activities Director. In 2014, my family and I went through a tough time due to my grandfather suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. At that time, not knowing the process of moving a loved one to a community made the process very difficult. As I started to learn more, I vowed to always educate and help families going through the same thing.  Before joining the team at Mariposa, I was a Marketing Director at an Assisted Living community, that role allowed me to utilize my skills to help and educate prospects and families about quality of life in senior Living. My current Role at Mariposa allows me to do the same.
