Glenda Redman
Why did I decide to join Options?
I was fresh out of a divorce and at a serious crossroad in my life. I was struggling with the direction my career should take and was fortunate enough to meet Scott Fischer. I knew after our first meeting that this was the sign I was waiting for. I feel beyond blessed to be on this journey with the Options for Senior Living team.
What is something I would like to learn?
I feel you can never stop gaining and updating knowledge in this industry. The ability to bring the right resources to bear is key to guiding families. The more I can understand about the marketplace and players, the better I can serve. Keeping up with the best ALTCS communities and homes is at the top of my priority list. where do i make the most impact
I believe in working directly with the families I am making a significant impact on the stress and quality of their lives going forward. It is an honor and privilege to do some and my hobbies , family

Katie Peña
Why did I decide to join Options?
After my divorce, I was searching for a new career. I wanted something that could fully utilize my skills and gifts, but in a meaningful way. I was referred to Scott through a mutual friend and knew this was a fit as soon as I met him and heard the Options story and how he impacted so many families over the years.
What is something I would like to learn?
I want to learn it all! However, the top 3 things that interest me the most in the senior world are dealing with Dementia/Alzheimer’s, financial planning for elders, and the Medicare/Medicaid healthcare care system. In general, I’d just like to continue to support my loved ones and clients through the aging process with care & compassion. It’s scary and unknown for so many. I want to help them move through this stage in life with ease.
I am a single mom of a VERY active 7 year old boy, so you can often find me at practices & games or attempting to play two hand touch with my son! Wellness has been a big part of my life so fitness & nutrition are also important to me. I am a 5th generation Arizona native, and am fortunate enough to be surrounded by lots of family. Most weekends we like to get out in nature or run off on last minute road trips.
My fav non work activity: Spending time with my son outside
Favorite pizza toppings: Pepperoni, jalapeño & pineapple. Salty, spicy and sweet!
Fav female movie star: Kristen Wiig, shes pure comedy!
Fav male movie star: Anthony Hopkins. Never seen him in a bad role!
