Summary
With 17 years of experience in multifamily property management, extensive knowledge of onsite operations, and a real estate license, I have a strong passion for the industry. As the Corporate Designer and Director of Landscaping for a growing property management company, I have successfully redesigned over 100 clubhouses, pools, fitness centers, and model units. These projects have not only driven substantial rent increases but also created brand consistency across the portfolio. Fortunately I love both aspects of the multifamily industry and welcome a new challenge with a thriving property management company.
