Our Staff at BrightStar Care® Bryan / College Station

Jennifer and her husband are Native Texans who met in college in Houston and then set about traveling literally around the world for his career in the Air Force. After settling into their forever home on a ranch in Washington County, she set about trying to discover how she could have a positive influence in their new community. Having raised 4 children and provided care as a Speech Language Pathologist since the early 1990's, Jennifer was ready to pursue the next step in her life's work.

Although the majority of Jennifer's work as a Speech Pathologist had been in the hospital setting, having cared for patients in the home setting early in her career, she always knew there was a special opportunity to provide comfort and healing where people are most at ease and able to rest.

Taking care of the people who take care of people in the place they call home -- that is the calling that Jennifer now finds herself pursuing. It is a joy to cultivate a team of caregivers, nurses and therapists who recognize the privilege we have to be welcomed into homes and create a healing environment for our clients during their most vulnerable times. It is an honor to partner with family members and provide relief. It is a pleasure to facilitate our client's Best Life.

Darla and her husband were both born and raised in Bryan/College Station, and both have many family members that are local to the Brazos Valley area as well.  She has watched all the growth in BCS over the years, and the community members who choose to live here are very near and dear to her heart.

Her dream has always been simple: to help others.  A proud Aggie, Darla received her Bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University in 1995 with hopes of pursuing a Master’s in counseling. However, life took her in another direction due to her growing family and she moved several times in the next several years while her husband completed his advanced degree.  She has been with her husband for over 3 decades now and has found opportunities to contribute in the community through many volunteer opportunities.  

Now that her children are grown, she is excited to give back to the Brazos Valley community she loves so much by joining the Brightstar Care team!
