Tell us about your career:
Property Management found me right out of college as I accepted my first position as a Leasing Consultant in student housing. I was immediately taken by both the challenges this role presented, but also the unique opportunity to connect with people daily. Although my role has matured in the last seven years, the same is still true. I am fueled by a challenge and rewarded by resolution!
I have been a Property Manager for the last 6 years, and in that time, I have obtained both CAM and CAPS credentials through the National Apartment Association, as well as a North Carolina Real Estate License. I am involved with the Triangle Apartment Association's Government and Education Committees as well as the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Councils for TAA and Carroll Management Group.
