◆ FIRST INDUSTRY JOB ?
I started as a Leasing Consultant with Equity Residential .
◆ PIVOTAL MOMENT IN YOUR CAREER ?
As an assistant manager in 2013 , I was asked to assist with a Property takeover for Greystar in Utah - their first property in the state . For four weeks I flew back and for 3-4 days a week transitioning a property . I was able to spend some incredible time with a few mentors , who are now friends . I think it was one of the last flights back from the transition where I sat with Cherie Shaw ( shout out ) and had what is likely to be the conversation that changed my outlook on the industry and pushed me to focus on my career .
◆ WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE ABOUT THE MULTIFAMILY INDUSTRY ?
As of late , the changes I would like to see are more resident based . I love our industry and truly believe it is what you make of it , and even the most challenging properties can be the most rewarding . While day to day tasks and the overall operations have significantly changed year over year , and every time you turn your head there is another platform being rolled out … I would still say the resident treatment our teams sometimes receive is heart wrenching .
◆ TV SHOW BEST DESCRIBES YOUR MANAGEMENT STYLE ?
Suits – The show champions perseverance , the importance of sticking to one ’ s ethics and the need for strong communication . I googled that description , but in all seriousness – It ’ s an incredible show .
◆ MOST IMPACTFUL PERSON IN YOUR CAREER ?
Amy Cooley , without a doubt . She has been a cheerleader of mine since 2014 . I have now worked for her with 3 different companies and am so appreciative of her support and friendship . Her dedication to her team is undeniable , she is a true fighter for her people , and anyone would be lucky to have an opportunity to work with her .
◆ FAVORITE TEAM-BUILDING ACTIVITY ?
Happy Hour !
◆ IDEAL LONG WEEKEND ?
Anything that includes quality time with friends and family - Good food , good company , maybe a little shopping !
