What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in housing management while fostering a collaborative team environment and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in housing management and client relations. With a Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management and a minor in Business Administration, I have honed my skills in identifying client needs while ensuring operational objectives are met. My experience as the Director of Multi-Family at Bessemer Housing Authority has equipped me with the ability to lead teams effectively, mentor staff, and implement best practices in property management.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to excellence by preparing detailed reports, managing budgets, and ensuring compliance with housing regulations. My role as a Housing Choice Voucher Program Consultant further solidified my expertise in eligibility determination and client support. I take pride in fostering a professional culture within my teams, focusing on efficiency and effectiveness while addressing tenant issues with empathy and professionalism.
