The Manor at York Town’s Director of Sales and Marketing, Courtney Gawthrop, has been helping families make important decisions for over 20 years.

Making those connections and offering that support can certainly apply to the field I’m in now,” Courtney explains.

Open to discovering new opportunities, years later, Courtney came across a position in sales and marketing at The Manor. “I was familiar with Liberty Lutheran from working in this field for so long and I was very excited about the idea of working in an independent living community,” she recalls.
