I have been working in health care for 6 years and I have gotten to know many interesting people. When I am not at work, I love spending time with my family and friends. I have three sons and three grandsons. I also enjoy football, basketball and watching old movies. My favorite movie of all time is “Gone With the Wind”.

Meet The Sanctuary at Brooklyn Center Team
The executive team at The Sanctuary at Brooklyn Center is focused on the future. As health care evolves and the senior population grows, new ways of providing senior services—from housing to health care—challenge us to be creative and inventive.

Lori Petersen
Executive Director

Nicole Hell
Business Office Manager
Over the last 14 years, I have been working in healthcare because I enjoy the opportunity to help individuals live independent and healthy lives. Currently, I am working towards obtaining my bachelor's degree in health care administration but when I am not working or attending school, I'm spending time with my husband, 3 dogs and 2 daughters who are in middle school and high school. Things that I enjoy doing in my spare time are camping, fishing, hunting and gardening; I was born and raised in the city of Hopkins but have a genuine country girl soul.

Maria Randall
Outreach and Sales Director
Both Marketing and Gerontology have been passions of mine since I can remember! I have enjoyed working with older adults for the last seven years and am even more happy my career has brought me to all of you here at The Sanctuary. In my role, I focus on outreach, sales, and admissions. My job entails community outreach, tax credit paperwork, and new admits. When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, trying new restaurants or adventures with family and friends, and being the best dog mom!

Marty Hanson
Life Enrichment Director
I have been working at The Sanctuary for a year and a half. In my spare time, I enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, and spending time with my family. I am originally from South Dakota and have most of my family back there. I have a wife named Kristi, and two daughters that are 16 and 10 years old. We have a 7 year old Black Lab named Remi, that I train for hunt tests, so that keeps me busy. I enjoy working here at The Sanctuary because of the residents and great management team.
