Manager of Marketing Communications

Amy Selle is Manager of Marketing Communications for Cantata Adult Life Services.

She is responsible for all marketing, advertising, public relations, brand alignment, web site and social media efforts for Cantata.

With over 19 years of marketing and communications experience, Amy joined The British Home in 2002 as a Sales and Marketing Specialist and was promoted to Manager of Marketing Communications in 2010.  Previously, she was a Marketing Associate at Plymouth Place Senior Living.  Prior to joining Plymouth Place, she held positions in several divisions at LaGrange Memorial Hospital including roles in community relations, physician relations and medical practice consulting.  Amy began her career as a newspaper reporter and freelance writer, while pursuing her Master's degree and teaching for the department of Communication Studies at Northern Illinois University. She is now a Certified Marketing Specialist (CMP), and teaches Facebook classes to older adults as part of Cantata's Lifelong Learning initiative.  Amy is also a board member of the Parent-Teacher League at her children's school, and enjoys spending time with her young family exploring the many cultural opportunities the Chicago area has to offer.

"As a former journalist, a writer and a lifelong student of communication, I've always been passionate about communicating good news," said Amy.  "We hear so much bad news in the media on a daily basis that sometimes it eclipses all that we have to celebrate about our lives.  At Cantata we are surrounded by positive stories almost everywhere I look.  We like to say that we are all aging, so get over it.  Aging is not an excuse to stop living life to the fullest.  I see evidence every day that we can make the most of life at every age and in every circumstance by providing people and their families with the right support at the right time.  I am proud to work for an organization that understands the importance of community, innovation, vision and harnessing the power of the team."

Amy earned a Masters of Arts Degree in Media and Organizational Communication Studies and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Journalism from Northern Illinois University.
