    Kambrie Frizzell

    Nurse Manager, LPN

    Kambrie is a dedicated nurse manager at Summit Woods, driven by her passion for providing the best quality care to residents. Her journey into this role was influenced by her appreciation for working with the older generation, and she embraces the responsibility with a high level of professionalism. Inspired by her mother’s resilience as a single parent, Kambrie became a nurse, shaping her into the strong woman she is today. Outside of work, she cherishes time with her children, enjoys Sunday mornings at home, and is involved in causes close to her heart, such as the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation. Her personal motto, “Life can have many changes. The one thing in life that can never be taken away from you is your education,” reflects her belief in the enduring value of learning.
