Get To Know Sandy Shroyer

Sandy retired from her professional career on January 21, 2022, and the next day she moved with her husband to Montpellier, in the south of France. Her jobs included cooking for hired ranch hands, serving as a staff psychologist at a community mental health center, performing various leadership roles in healthcare firms, managing a lot of highly successful sales executives, and selling technology and services to health systems and health plans.

The best part of her career was people—those who became lifelong friends, those who irritated her into learning important lessons, and those who taught her things through their kindness and genius. Her superpower is connecting people, whether it’s professional networking, introducing friends who form their own friendships, or
just figuring out who might like to know someone she knows.

She tries never to miss an opportunity to have fun. Sandy and her husband traveled full-time during the pandemic before moving to France, living in Airbnbs in Raleigh, Cape Cod, Savannah, Santa Fe, San Diego, Hawaii, Santa Rosa, Portland (OR), Seattle, Denver, Dallas, and Austin. Sandy writes about her life at www.roaminretirement.com and she also is a regular guest blogger on www.renestance.com.
