Q: What is a typical workday like for you?
I start each day by meeting with the team. We review upcoming arrivals/departures, any pending service requests, and plan for our future resident events. My favorite part of the day is speaking with residents, including our furry residents, to see how they are enjoying their stay.

10 years. My first job was in the Hospitality industry. I loved it so much I decided to continue this career path.

Our outdoor firepit lounge is my favorite amenity. It’s the perfect spot for residents to meet their fellow neighbors and create lasting friendships.
