Meet Pete Gallegos

I’m Pete Gallegos Director of Plant Operations for The Village at The Woodlands. I’m responsible for ensuring our building, utilities, and life safety systems are maintained and operational at all times. I’ve been with the Village for two years and am looking forward to many more. We have a great team here and everyone strives to make sure you’re comfortable in your home. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, restoring classic cars, and coaching basketball. I wish I had much more time for these interests!

Life Enrichment Coordinator

The name Diana comes from the Roman Goddess of the moon. This possibly explains why I enjoy late nights, movies about werewolves and, of course, pizza! You know, like the song lyrics say, “when the moon hits your eye…..”. The past two years I have worked at the Village as the Life Enrichment Coordinator for our Independent Living residents. Prior to COVID-19 affecting our area, we enjoyed outings that included the arts, social gatherings, fine dining experiences, new movies, fun shopping and live music venues. We are optimistic that post COVID-19, armed with a few new wellness precautions, we will be able to pick up right where we left off.

I, myself, am looking forward to planning some short getaways with friends and family. I enjoy being outdoors and Colorado is a favorite destination. When the mountains start calling, I start packing!

I am blissfully married to the greatest guy ever and we have two “children”. My son has been out of the house for several years and my daughter is a freshman in college. I also have two poodles which immediately lets you know that I can only ever have a king sized bed, my floors are tiled and I spend a lot of time spelling out words: O-U-T-S-I-D-E, C-A-R, T-R-E-A-T,… you get the idea.

It has been my pleasure these past two and a half years to have been part of such a wonderful community as The Village at The Woodlands Waterway. Our residents are truly exceptional people with big hearts and wonderful stories. I look forward to creating many new memories and hope you consider being part of our adventure!

Hello! My name is Candice Bingham and I am The Director of Sales and Marketing at The Village at The Woodlands Waterway.  I have been at this community for 4 years and absolutely love everything about it.  There is no greater feeling then being able to go to work and love what you do.  When I am not at work I am spending time with my daughter, who is almost 1 year old, my husband, and our 2 dogs.  One of my favorite things to do is take my daughter on walks or go to the pool.  When she gets a little bigger I cannot wait to take her to the ballet and different musicals.
