A genuine, natural, people person and long-time Lara local, Dianna McGrath, shares a slice of her life as a Project Sales Manager at Ingenia Lifestyle Lara, near Geelong in Victoria.

Dianna has always loved the Lara area with its easy coastal lifestyle for all ages to enjoy; whether it’s swimming or surfing at the beach, taking a short trip to Geelong’s waterfront, a train to Melbourne or a lovely drive inland along the Great Ocean Road.

When Dianna’s mother downsized the family home, they went on the journey together and ultimately decided on Ingenia Lifestyle Lara.

The pair couldn’t sing higher praises for the community – a place where Dianna instantly noticed how much seniors were gaining from their new lifestyle.

“I joined the community soon after as the lifestyle coordinator – a job I knew I could support and guide new and existing residents.

“This has been the most rewarding part to my new career,” Dianna said.

Since starting at Ingenia, Dianna has witnessed the community around her grow with more services, retail and specialities stores expanding, and new real estate developments in the surrounding suburbs for younger families which is now bringing in more seniors who are wanting to be closer to their children and grandchildren.

Having to re-locate her own mother, Dianna knows first-hand the emotional process that comes with selling the family home.

“It’s with this knowledge I can help other people and their families move into the community and it’s so nice to receive cards and letters as a token of appreciation for going above and beyond.

“And that’s why I do this…to see the joy and the smiles and the happy families, because I was once there when my mum moved in and I know what they’re going through,” Di explains.

Ingenia Lifestyle Lara has brand new homes selling now. For more information contact Dianna McGrath on 0476 839 644 or visit www.liveinlara.com.au
