Letter From the Lifestyle Team LEXI RINGWOOD YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGER

Sunny Greetings Members! Time to get your sunglasses out! Your Lifestyle Manager and Esplanade team have created a variety of fun events and activities for the upcoming months, all designed to connect you with your neighbors! We have recently started our first two clubs, Book Club and Adventure Awaits, and we would love to introduce even more! Clubs are a great way to get involved. If there is a hobby or passion of yours you would like to see become an Interest Group or Social Club please reach out to your Lifestyle Manager. We are really looking forward to our Mother’s and Father’s Day Events. We will also be painting flower pots for Memorial Day that you can take home, along with some extras that will be donated to local veterans. I would like to take a moment to say thank you to all the Members who have made my time here at Esplanade at Tradition amazing. For those who have not heard, I am moving to Texas, but we look forward to welcoming a new Lifestyle Manager to the community very soon! I have made so many memories that I will take with me, and hope you all will too. Just as a friendly reminder, please make sure you are registering yourself and any guests for our upcoming events. A beautiful Florida Summer is around the corner, with many opportunities to join inspiring events. I look forward to seeing you at our next gathering!

TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Katelynn Carlson NATIONAL DIRECTOR OF MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS

e are pleased to introduce your National Director of Marketing and Communications, Katelynn Carlson. Katelynn works hand in hand with Taylor Morrison Marketing to provide communications and marketing support to Esplanade communities nationwide. Out of all of the projects from last year, one of her favorites was the rebranding of the very publication you are enjoying right now, the Esplanade Lifestyle Magazine! She works closely with each local Lifestyle Manager to ensure that their Lifestyle experiences, Members, beloved community pets and the wonderful work they do to produce your Lifestyle programming is shared in a fun and engaging way. You have heard this sentiment throughout last year, but as Esplanade continues to span the nation, Katelynn looks forward to even more ways to spotlight the amazing things our local teams are doing at each community to bring the Esplanade Lifestyle experience to life each day. Katelynn earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree in the field of Communications and Marketing from The University of Central Florida. After graduating, she spent her first year as an intern at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Florida, working as a social media and content coordinator helping to tell the amazing family stories and acts of kindness of local volunteers. In 2012, she was thrilled to join The Walt Disney Company as a Communications and Marketing professional at the Walt Disney World Resort, and spent the next decade growing her skills and knowledge and making magic in a variety of marketing roles. Prior to joining the Evergreen Team, she spent 6 years of her Disney career working to establish, execute and sustain a communications and marketing foundation for the Members of Disney’s one-of-a-kind resort residential community, Golden Oak. She partnered closely with their neighbors, the Four Seasons Resort Orlando to stay engaged with the structure of their exclusive, luxury homeowner experience, The Four Seasons Private Residences. With this knowledge and expertise, the transition to support the growing Esplanade brand seemed like the perfect fit! When she’s not busy finding ways to innovate and create in the world of Esplanade marketing and communications, Katelynn loves to spend time at her home in Orlando, Florida with her two rescue kitties, Lincoln and Harper or out around town with her friends. As a native to Orlando, she is blessed to have sustained friendships as far back as kindergarten, with many of those friends still living in the area. “My family and friends are everything to me,” she shares. “I have a wonderful, close relationship with my parents who actually live 10 minutes up the road, and it’s such a blessing.” She loves to stay active and tries to start each morning with exercise and movement, usually at her F45 gym in Central Florida. She is also passionate about storytelling through images and began her own wedding photography business 6 years ago! When we asked her to explain something she’s most thankful for so far in 2022, she shares: “To be honest, I’m just tremendously thankful to wake up every day and work with a team of people who I truly care about and enjoy being around. Our Esplanade national team, and the team members that make up our local teams, are so passionate, creative, and driven. It’s a privilege to work alongside them. On a personal note, I’d like to get on an international flight again, for leisure travel! I’m not sure where I want to head to next but Switzerland has always been high on the list!”
