TRULEE EVANSTON - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- DIRECTOR of COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Jessica's love of what she does really comes from the heart. She loves working with seniors, and she loves planning events. She's been doing both for more than 15 years. So, the idea of joining a company like Solera that's truly "next generation" in technology and amenities was ideal. Being able to plan fun and meaningful activities to help residents stay active, engaged and enjoy their lives at Trulee Evanston is her passion. Even her dog gets in the act: 14-year-old Mylee, a shih-tzu, loves coming to work with Jessica and getting attention from residents.
When Jessica isn't at work, or playing with Mylee, you might find her at a concert, festival, or a new restaurant. Dream vacation? A Mediterranean cruise. Mylee's dream vacation? Anywhere Jessica is.
Job Titles:
- EXECUTIVE CHEF / CULINARY DIRECTOR
You have to love someone who always has a kite in their car. It goes perfectly with a sense of curiosity and creativity, and a bit of playfulness. For Executive Chef & Culinary Director Kristen Burman, that's a great recipe for meeting the challenge of pleasing a diversity of palates, which she strives to do each day. And just as satisfying for Kristen: getting to know the personalities behind those palates. "I love to have a hand in encouraging seniors to live their best life at any age," she says. Her commitment to serving residents is strong, as is her love of nature, whether hiking, birdwatching, or swimming with her husband and son. That is, when she's not catching a breeze with her trusty kite.
