◆ WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE ABOUT THE MULTIFAMILY INDUSTRY ?
Our industry is in the process of realizing the changes I would make . Due to COVID we had to completely change business models and become incredibly adaptable to every day changes . For a long time it seemed we did things one way because it was the way we always had , now that ’ s not the case . I think we have all grown into accepting change and challenging ourselves to break the mold .
◆ FAVORITE TEAM-BUILDING ACTIVITY ?
I have very competitive teams — we love activities where we compete against each other and earn bragging rights .
◆ TV SHOW BEST DESCRIBES YOUR MANAGEMENT STYLE ?
Suits . Test the limits but get the job done
◆ PIVOTAL MOMENT IN YOUR CAREER ?
I accepted a portfolio manager position before I was ready , when I realized it was the wrong fit I took a step back and was hired as a manager at my very first lease up . Ever since then I have found a passion in development and new construction and realized this part of our industry is where I am meant to be .
◆ MOST IMPACTFUL PERSON IN YOUR CAREER ?
Allyson McKay , our Managing Director at Embrey . We have a very honest relationship in how we communicate and she isn ’ t afraid to give the tough feedback and encouragement to constantly improve .
◆ YOUR IDEAL LONG WEEKEND ?
I love to snowboard ! A weekend in the mountains is my perfect getaway . www . aamdhq . org NOV / DEC 2022 TRENDS | 45
