Angela Wheeler is the Executive Director for Overmountain Trace, ALG Senior’s newest Senior Independent Living located in Elkin, North Carolina scheduled to open Fall 2026. Over the last 10 years, she successfully served as Executive Director at sister communities, Rose Glen Manor in North Wilkesboro and The Landings of Chestnut Grove in Sparta. Angela has worked in healthcare for over 20 years with a diverse background in business administration, clinical and operational management. Her leadership is driven by a genuine passion for serving the residents, their families, and her team. Her goal is to help create a vibrant, welcoming place where residents enjoy independence, connection, and a true sense of belonging—and where families have confidence knowing their loved ones are in caring hands. At Overmountain Trace, she looks forward to building a community defined by hospitality, trust, and a genuine commitment to the people who call it home.

I volunteer as a Christian Counselor in my community with a goal of giving back to others! Jesus is always my reason. With more than 20 years of experience in senior living and healthcare, Sumer Geiser brings a genuine passion for helping others and a special love for seniors to her role as Sales Director. For Sumer, working with residents is much more than a career. Their stories, personalities, and friendships brighten her days, lift her spirits, and give her a strong sense of purpose. Sumer is especially excited to be part of the beginning of a beautiful new chapter for the community and its residents. She loves the opportunity to help create a welcoming, luxurious Independent Living community for adults 55 and older, where relationships and meaningful connections can flourish. A natural relationship builder and self-described “lover of people,” Sumer began her college studies in communications, with a focus on marketing and broadcasting, before continuing her education in the philosophy of psychology. She has carried that interest in communication, relationships, and understanding people throughout her career. Outside of work, family is at the center of Sumer’s world. She treasures time with her mother, son, daughter and son-in-law, and especially her four grandchildren, who proudly know her as “YaYa.” She also volunteers as a Christian counselor in her community, giving back to others and allowing her faith to remain an important part of her life and service. One fun fact about Sumer is that during college, she spent five years appearing on a nationally syndicated radio talk show in the 1990s. When it comes to resident activities, few things make her smile more than a spirited game of balloon volleyball with pool noodles. And if prime rib or shrimp is on the menu, she is probably not far away. One of Sumer’s favorite quotes reflects the positive outlook she brings to both her personal and professional life: “Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.” — Walt Whitman
