Summary

I am a seasoned property management professional with over 13 years of experience in diverse housing markets. I have a proven track record or surpassing financial expectations while enhancing the quality of our offerings and leading the market in rental rates. While transitioning from the affordable housing market with a focus on maintaining a near 100 percent occupancy rate and ensuring financial accuracy to comply with local, state, and federal guidelines and requirements to the conventional housing market, I have successfully exceeded financial expectations by consistently increasing gross potential rental rates averaging over 7% annually and increasing net operating income annually by over 11% over the past decade. I excel in property renovations, ensuring operational success while exceeding budgeted occupancy rates. I'm eager for new opportunities to grow personally and professionally while contributing to a dynamic market's expansion.
