Tell us about your career:
I started in the multifamily industry in 2007 with Blue Ridge in Wilson, NC as a service technician. In 2011 I was promoted to Service Manager in Greensboro, NC. While in Greensboro with Blue Ridge, I was able to be active in the PTAA and was a mentor for new employees as they were hired on with Blue Ridge. I left Blue Ridge for about 1.5 years to move to the Charlotte area. During that time I was a Service Manager for Grubb Properties. In 2017 I had the opportunity to return to Blue Ridge. During the next few years, I was able to open a brand new community and get it fully occupied and stabilized in the Fort Mill, SC area.
In 2021 I received a promotion to my current position as Roving Service Manager. In this position I assist properties throughout our portfolio, as well as conduct property inspections, and work on special projects. As part of the senior service manager team, I also am able to train new associates and give assistance when needed whether on a maintenance issue or operational needs.
