Tell us about your career:

I got my first part-time leasing job in 1996. I went full time within six months and never looked back! I have been a leasing consultant, marketing manager, assistance manager, and I now have been a property manager for 16 years.

What advice do you have for someone just starting in your field:

Just be yourself and be a sponge! Treat everyone the same and with love & respect. There will be hard days, but lots of rewarding ones too! You get to help people find new homes, take care of them once they move in & share in their lives! You never know what each day will bring & you'll learn how to pivot quickly and wear a ton of hats. Get involved in your local apartment association! 

Anything else you would like to share:

This is the only industry I've ever been in, and I couldn't think of anything else I'd rather do!
