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!

My name is Mery Mckeown. I am a sales counselor at The Village at The Woodlands Waterway and have been part of this amazing team for two years!

When I am away from work I am with my family and our three rescue dogs. We have two beautiful daughters, our oldest is six years old and our latest addition is our 3-month old. We spend a lot of time at the park, cooking and baking in the kitchen and also at our church.

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.
