How do you balance your career, personal life, and passions? Is there such a thing as balance? It is difficult to find a balance sometimes. We could all work 12-hour days and still feel like we’re not caught up. It’s not productive to rob yourself of family time by working all night. You need to set boundaries for yourself to prioritize your health and personal time. It’s also important to take your vacations and completely unplug, so you can recharge and be 100% present for your team when you come back!
Your title doesn’t determine whether you’re a leader or not. It’s your actions, your attitude, what you stand for, and what you will not tolerate. It’s a little bit of self-awareness and the courage to do the right thing when nobody is watching. It’s your willingness to be vulnerable, your integrity, how you show gratitude, your commitment to listen and keep learning, and your ability to influence and inspire others. This month we had the pleasure of hearing from several of our female teammembers and leaders regarding their female leaders and the impact they had on their lives. We also were able to dig into how to maintain work-life balance, career advice, personal passions, and thoughts on the future. Our favorite, insight – a sneak peek at how these ladies spend their Saturday mornings! It doesn’t have to be serious all the time!
Where will we find you on a Saturday at 10:00 am? Taking care of my horses and various other pets.
How important is it to have amentor to growas a leader?What are some steps to build that type of relationship? It’s great to have a mentor to guide you and help develop you in your career. Find someone in the organization you look up to and ask their advice on how to grow within your role and the company in general. True leaders are going to help you in any way they can. What is your most meaningful accomplishment during your career? Why does it mean so much to you? I feel most proud of the incredible teams I’ve built, many of whom have been with Trinity for many years. I love developing teammembers and watching them succeed in their careers.

What advice would you give women just starting in their career in property management? Take one day at a time, celebrate your everyday wins, and know that you can make a really big impact on your residents and others you encounter. When it comes to your career, take your time. Don’t rush through the different positions to try to get to a certain title. Instead, realize every position and every challenge is preparing you for the next and soak in all you can learn in that position or at that particular property. Also, build your personal brand at work so your colleagues want to partner with you and say yes to opportunities outside of your job description. Especially while new in your career, master your role and take on the additional projects, challenges, or career- development opportunities that are available to you. This will be invaluable in many ways and will also help you in building connections within the organization. Where will we find you on a Saturday at 10:00 am? Saturday mornings are my favorite! I wake up, have coffee and breakfast with my husband, and then grab my dachshunds for a walk by the water while I listen to a podcast. Sometimes I’ll catch a morning yoga class at the beach or go to our local farmers market. No matter what it is, I make sure I’mmoving my body and doing something that’s relaxing to set the tone for the rest of the weekend!
