Traci Schabert: I am Traci Schabert. I am the executive director at Broadwell Senior Living in Plymouth, Minnesota. I graduated from Concordia, St. Paul, in 2021. I have a bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration. I’d been applying for jobs over my career, and because I didn’t have a bachelor’s degree, only had an associate’s, I couldn’t get past the HR programs. I’d hit submit and it would bounce right back as not qualified. I knew I wanted do this because I wanted to advance my career.
Once I got to the point where this was serious and everything’s in order, I talked to my family, my four kids, my husband, and said, “Guess what mom’s doing?” We sat down and looked at it and discovered I could pull this off.
That was spring, prior to COVID, so just a few months before COVID hit our planet. I started the first classes just after most of the communities were shut down, most of the states were on quarantine. I thought, “Okay, well, let’s see where this goes, “but was terrified. I was able to set up the schedule with classes that were easier for me. I could listen to the lecture while I made dinner for the kids. I could listen to it in the car as I’m doing carpooling. Seriously, it was a community. It wasn’t like you’re off all by yourself. If you’re in person on campus, you get to know your teachers, you get to know the students. It’s the same thing online.
The most difficult part was when I got sick with COVID. I reached out to Concordia and they said, “Do what you need to do. We’re here to help you.” They helped me see that Concordia has their online program set up for me, and it was about me. It wasn’t an extra addition to their campus or school. It was part of their programming. It had everything I needed and more.
I have been blessed. Broadwell Senior Living is a brand new community. I was blessed to be able to hire the staff. We started with employee number one, me, and I’ve built the staff from there. Actually come up to me and ask me about, “How did you do all this stuff together at once? You’ve got four kids, and you work full-time, and you’re going to school, and you helped build this new building.” Patience, breathing, focus. When it comes to finances, reach out. I’ve worked in the senior care industry for 15 years and I’ve seen lots of stuff and I’ve had a lot of experience. Anything can happen. You’ve got to follow your dreams and you’ve got to follow your heart.
What I want to teach my kids and grandkids is that my life is not perfect. Nobody’s life is perfect. Life comes with struggles and pains, and the key is to grow from them and to not give up. I’m hopeful that the kids will be inspired by that and my grandkids will be proud of me
