Leasing with Career Strategies . I actually only went on 2 leasing assignments then they asked me to come work in their office . I did that for a year then got a Leasing and Marketing position with Riverstone .

When I left the Retail Industry . Going from a District Manager to a Leasing Consultant is quite a humbling experience .

However , this allowed me to learn a new industry and grow fairly quickly in this industry .

◆ FAVORITE TEAM-BUILDING ACTIVITY ?
Grabbing a meal with my team . Gives us a chance to get to know each other on a personal level .

A trip to the Caribbean ( white sand and turquoise water ). Pretty sure I was an “ Island girl ” in a past life .
