Alli Wickes

Alli has been an occupational therapist for 11 years, working with seniors throughout her career. She also worked in various positions with Shirley Ryan Ability Lab, drawing from her specialty in pain elimination and management. She’s keenly interested in educating residents on the body and brain for increased safety and function. And she’s excited to keep thinking outside the box to make Trulee Evanston “home, with built-in support when needed.” Her love of people, and learning from them, comes in quite handy.

Setting a goal and achieving it appeals to Alli. She’s a successful finisher of the Chicago triathlon, having competed four months post-partum and with a two-year-old cheering her on, along with Steve, her husband. Alli received a BA in Kinesiology from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Perfect vacation: any place new. Favorite food: cheese. Movie she can quote all the way through: Elf (her first-born loved it). When she’s not working: Alli loves exploring the world through her daughters’ eyes.
