Congratulations to our November Employee of the Month Kyle!

Kyle's journey into the culinary world began in November of 2021 at our Zionsville West community. After a hiatus to Germany, where he furthered his cooking knowledge, we are lucky to bring him back into the fold here at Independence Village of Avon. His positive impact had been appreciated both by our team and our residents. He is an invaluable asset with his positive demeanor and eagerness to learn and improve his skills. Kyle is a bright example of the talent and dependability that all chefs look forward to having in their kitchens.
