Hello, my name is Reanda Scott, and I am the Food Service Director at Serenity Empire of Marietta.

Cooking has been my passion for over 30 years, and alongside that, I’ve always loved braiding hair a talent and first passion that allows me to connect with people in a unique way. At my core, I love helping and caring for others, and both cooking and caregiving have always been part of who I am.

I was born in Charleston, South Carolina, and raised in a small town called Johns Island, known as the Gullah Geechee Island. I’ve been married to my husband for 13 years, and together we have three wonderful children here with us and one child with Christ.

My journey in caregiving grew deeper when I cared for my mother and sister until their passing in 2019. That experience opened my heart even more to serving others with compassion. Continuing my mom’s legacy, I volunteer each year by organizing Christmas Give-Away Drives and offering free hair braiding to give back to the community.

My love for cooking was inspired by my grandfather and the large family gatherings we enjoyed. I was always in the kitchen, learning and perfecting my craft. Over the years, I’ve been honored to receive recognition, including winning 1st place in Dining Service and being nominated for Employee of the Year.

For me, food service is more than a job it’s about making a difference. Seeing my residents smile, knowing I’ve touched their lives through care and service, is the greatest reward. Having a heart for people and bringing joy to others truly defines who I am.
