Tell us about your career:
I started in the multifamily industry as a leasing agent about four years ago with zero experience. Within nine months of being a leasing agent with Ginkgo Residential I was promoted to Assistant Manager. I was nominated for Leasing Professional of The Year in 2021 with the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association and won Leasing Professional of the Year in 2021 with my company at our Going The Extra Mile Awards. Within two months of being an Assistant Manager, I was quickly promoted to a Property Manager who oversaw four small communities in Mooresville and Davidson, North Carolina.
I now manage six small communities going on my third year with Ginkgo Residential. As 2023 came to an end, I have accomplished much more than I could have thought. I had a beautiful baby boy the beginning of February 2023, was a recipient for the AANC 20s in their 20 scholarship, joined the NextGen Committee and was nominated for Property Manager of The Year with my company at our Going the Extra Mile Awards. I have lots of plans to live, grow and thrive in 2024!
