Accomplishments
I wanted to share a key accomplishment from my time with Uncle Bob’s / Life Storage that reflects my performance and consistency as a Store Manager.
During my tenure, the company implemented a “STARS” program designed to measure store performance against core KPIs. Each STAR represented a quarter in which a Store Manager successfully exceeded performance expectations, including driving NOI growth. Achieving 5 STARS required surpassing KPIs in all four quarters, with the fifth STAR awarded for year-over-year success.
This recognition was highly competitive and reserved for top-performing managers across the company.
I’m proud to share that I achieved 5 STAR Manager status in both 2019 and 2020. At the time, I was the first manager in company history to earn this distinction in consecutive years—a reflection of sustained operational excellence, strong team leadership, and consistent business growth.
I’d be happy to elaborate further on this experience and how it translates into my current leadership approach.
