As Senior Business Development Manager at AVE King of Prussia, I am responsible for driving sales results for our furnished apartment service across AVE's Greater Philadelphia portfolio, helping individuals and companies find flexible housing.
Q: What is a typical workday like for you?
For me, no two days are the same and that’s what I love about it. My day usually starts with checking emails and responding to client inquiries looking for the perfect home-away-from-home. Next, I dive into outreach by following up with leads, connecting with potential partners, and building relationships that go beyond the transaction. I also get to tailor furnished housing solutions to meet each client's specific needs, whether it’s for a short-term assignment, a relocation, or an extended stay. By the end of the day, I’ve likely helped someone land exactly where they need to be at one of our AVE locations — and that’s incredibly rewarding.
Q: How long have you been working in this industry?
27 years
Q: What do you love most about being a part of the AVE team?
What I love most is the energy and the people. We work hard, but we laugh even harder, and every day brings something new — whether it’s a fresh challenge or a good story worth sharing. It feels less like a job and more like being part of something special.
Q: What is your favorite amenity or service that AVE provides and why?
The complimentary freshly brewed, bean-to-cup coffee machine is my favorite amenity. The cappuccino and lattes are my favorite.
“What brings me the greatest satisfaction in my role is knowing I’m helping people feel at home, even when they’re far from it. Whether it’s a smooth relocation, a comfortable stay during a big life transition, or simply taking the stress out of travel — being part of that positivity means everything to me.”
Q: What is your hometown?
Wichita Falls, Texas
Q: What is your favorite hobby and why?
My favorite hobby is walking my dog Seth with my husband on our one-mile evening walk. It gives me time to relax with the ones I love away from computers, televisions, and cell phones.
Q: What is your favorite spot in the Greater Philadelphia area and why?
Valley Forge National Park. The park’s winding roads, along with its woods and meadows, offer a scenic break from traffic lights and concrete. It’s more than a commute, it’s a moment to reflect and reconnect with nature and history before diving into the day.
Q: What are 3 fun facts about you that we might not know?
- I was a radio DJ in Texas.
- I am vegetarian.
- I love the weather. Ask me about the weather, and most likely I will know the exact time it will rain, shine, or bring a massive cold blizzard.
