Trailblazing Connections: Joan’s Journey at Foster Square

Nestled among the charming streets of San Francisco is picturesque Atria at Foster Square, a community that buzzes with activity and warmth. One of the first friendly faces you’ll encounter is Joan, a Resident Ambassador who stands out as a true pathfinder of connection and whose infectious enthusiasm brings the community to life every day.

Adventures in Friendship: A national park of possibilities

Joan is a proud pioneer in the newly relaunched “Adventures in Friendship” Resident Ambassador program. Like a skilled park ranger guiding visitors through breathtaking vistas, Joan navigates Atria at Foster Square with knowledge, compassion and a spirit of adventure that inspires everyone she meets, especially those newer to the community who may need a little help in those first few weeks.

As both a Resident Ambassador and Resident Council Member, Joan blazes trails of connection throughout Atria at Foster Square. Her calendar brims with opportunities to bring fellow residents together – from scenic “viewpoints” of intellectual discussion to “campfire” moments of shared laughter.

One of Joan’s favorite community “hiking trails” is her current events discussion group, where residents explore the landscape of ideas together. “You make friends – very in-depth friends. You share your thinking and knowledge, and we learn together,” Joan says.

From research librarian to Resident Ambassador

With her background as a research librarian, Joan brings the precision of a detailed field guide to her community interactions. Her well-honed skills of curiosity and information-sharing flourish in Atria at Foster Square, creating rich experiences for everyone she encounters.

Whether she’s welcoming visitors to the building, facilitating thought-provoking conversations or offering a steady hand in navigating the community and its vast events calendar, Joan embodies the spirit of what it takes to be an ambassador, viewing each day as an “Adventure in Friendship.”

“It’s a wonderful place for my husband and me. We enjoy it so much,” Joan shares about her home in Atria at Foster Square.
