Angele Laib is the director of Sales and Marketing for Solstice at Apple Valley. She’s been with the community for 10 years and enjoys coming to work every day. Previously, she held the title of Vibrant Life director for five years.

Her background is in early childhood education, and she spent nearly 10 years in various teacher and director roles at schools in Alhambra and Victorville.

She enjoys building relationships with her residents and their families – she considers it very rewarding work. Her tagline is “I once called the parents about the kids, but now call the kids about the parents!”

She looks forward to meeting potential residents and being able to help explain and navigate senior living options.

Yvette Velez moved to California in the early 1980s, but originally hails from New York. She started in property management in 1996 and moved into senior living in 2017. She is happily married with four children and enjoys dancing and cheering on the New York Giants.
