Hello, and welcome to my profile!

I began my career in Property Management in 2017, where I built a strong foundation in client relationships and account management. Over the years, I’ve developed a passion for creating effective strategies that strengthen and maintain both new and long-term client relationships. I’m known as the go-to person when challenges arise—someone who listens, problem-solves, and delivers results.

My experience spans across Client Relations, Property Management, Vendor Management, Account Management, and Turnover Management, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the industry’s operations.

I’m eager to continue growing and expanding my expertise. I take pride in managing a portfolio and being that trusted partner for clients—ensuring exceptional service, consistent communication, and lasting satisfaction.

I am currently in the process of finding my next career step, and I look forward to connecting and meeting other individuals along the way!
