Tell us about your career:
I began my career as a leasing consultant in 2003 in Charlotte NC with Alliance Residential. Within three months I was promoted to Assistant Manager. In 2005 I started my career with Greystar as an Assistant Manager with only two properties in our portfolio. In 2007 I was promoted to Community Manager and worked at several properties including lease ups and stabilized garden style apartments. In 2013 I was selected to assist with one of Greystar's first international portfolios in Monterey Mexico and Mexico City that included midrise, high rise and student housing. I was promoted to Senior Community Manager in 2016 and took on the role as the Volunteer Liaison for the Southeast Region. Over my time as liaison, I have coordinated food drives, back to school collections, blanket drives for the women's shelter, fundraisers and walks for St Jude and Camp Hope. I have been an active member of the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association Outreach Committee since 2015 and I am currently co- chair of the Outreach Committee. In 2020 I was honored to receive the volunteer of the year award from the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association.
Over the years, I have humbly received the following Greystar Regional Pillar of Excellence Awards: Outstanding Achievement in Customer Service-2008, Community Service- 2016, Community Manager of The Year- 2017, Community Service- 2019. In 2021 I was honored to have the Greystar Pillar of Community Award named after me.
My goals in 2022 are to be a part of the Leadership Lyceum Class and receive my CAM Designation.
