Krista Ruiz serves as the Executive Director at Glenncrest at Siegen. Originally from Covington, Louisiana, she has called Lafayette home for over a decade. Krista brings a unique and diverse background to her role, blending experience in business, education, construction, and senior living.
She attended Southeastern Louisiana State University, where she studied Music Education, and is also licensed with the Louisiana State Board of Contractors, with specialties in commercial drywall and masonry. Her professional journey includes 10 years at an investment firm, 2 years as a Pre-K teacher, and 13 years as a stay-at-home mom while helping grow her family’s construction business to include commercial projects. For the past 7.5 years, Krista has been devoted to senior living—a field she considers her true calling.
Krista finds deep fulfillment in serving seniors. She believes there's nothing more rewarding than bringing joy and comfort to residents during this meaningful stage of life, and she values the wisdom and stories they share.
What she appreciates most about being part of QSLM is hard to narrow down. From the company’s mission of “We Serve Others” to the supportive team culture and opportunities for growth, Krista is proud to be part of an organization that truly lives its values.
