She strives to be a strong role model for her children and loved ones by doing what is right, taking responsibility, and moving forward with determination. One of the most influential pieces of career advice she received came from a nurse with 72 years of experience, who encouraged her to trust her instincts and remain confident in her path rather than allowing others to deter her progress. Today, Kacey brings that same resilience, compassion, and commitment to advocacy to her work, with a continuing passion for helping people and making a meaningful difference in the lives of seniors, veterans, and their families.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Kacey
01What do you attribute your success to?
For me, everything that I do is family-oriented, because I want my kids to see a strong woman, a strong mother, a strong person that anytime something hits you and puts you down, you are able to get up. It's the value of family that makes me get up every day and move forward to provide for my kids, my family, my husband, my parents, and show them a legacy of always doing something good.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I ever received was from a woman who was a nurse for 72 years. She said, always go with your gut, and don't ever let anybody stop you from moving forward. As women, we often second-guess ourselves, but we do know what is best.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Her best career advice came from a woman who had spent decades in nursing: trust your gut and never allow anyone to stop you from moving forward. She explained that women can sometimes second-guess themselves or allow outside opinions to influence decisions they already know are right for them. Learning to trust her instincts became an important part of her professional and personal growth.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
My biggest challenges are in hospice, legislation, cutbacks to the industry on a financial level, and dealing with veterans and veterans' benefits. I have lobbied for veterans benefits and hospice advocate. There's a moratorium on new hospices because they're going through fine-tooth comb with all hospices. My passion is to help fight for the benefits.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Always doing the right thing. From my own experience, doing the right thing, if you can find a company or if you build your own company and you always do the right thing, it's going to pay off in the end.
