Our Staff at BrightStar Care^® Monroeville / New Kensington

Jana worked as an RN for years with big-name hospitals in and around the Pittsburgh area where she gained firsthand experience in patient care. While working with the elderly and the ill, Jana also felt the need for a compassionate and caring homecare agency in our area. Jana knows what trauma families face when a patient goes home after a hospital stay but cannot arrange a dependable caregiver. This understanding prompted Jana to join the BrightStar family – an organization that known nationwide for its quality and unprecedented commitment to senior and child care! 

Brandy has a strong desire and passion to help others. As an active volunteer to Big Brothers Big Sisters Organization, she mentors under-privileged children. With her degree in Multiple Disciplinary Studies and Marketing Management from WVU and her experience in office administration, Brandy brings great energy to the BrightStar team. She’s completely loyal and dedicated to the BrightStar mission, “nobody goes without care,” and believes it to the furthest extent. She has been with BrightStar since January of 2012 and feels overwhelmed with the joy and gratification that working with BrightStar has given her. “I never imagined being in the health care field, but now that I have been with BrightStar, I can’t imagine my life any other way. Just knowing that I am contributing to help enrich someone’s quality of life is the most rewarding feeling and I am addicted to it.” In her free time she enjoys spending time with her husband and son, travelling, cooking and finding the next worthy Netflix binge. 

I am the Branch Manager of the Erie Office,  I have been with BrightStar for 7 years.  I started with BrightStar in 2012 as a field employee and in 2014 was the companies Community Liaison.  In 2017, I was offered the position of the Branch Manager and am very grateful to be in this position. Having the previous experience of working in the field allows me to reach out and connect with our clients on a more personal level, I understand more about their needs and wants and strive for a way to make that happen for them.  BrightStar’s core values are near and dear to my heart. I am open and positive. I serve with a passion, make it great and always do the right thing.
