Results Driven Multifamily Professional Member of The Board of Directors with Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Apartment Association. I was born and grew up in the small Baltic country of Latvia, where I learned the significance of discipline and hard work early on. I completed my Accounting Degree from the University of Latvia, which opened doors for me to further my education in the United States through a scholarship. I chose to pursue my postgraduate studies at the University of Cincinnati, specializing in Accounting and Business Management.In 2001, I embarked on my journey in the field of management in the restaurant industry, relishing my time as the General Manager at Maggiano’s Little Italy. The pleasure of witnessing the fruits of my labor reinforced my belief in the value of hard work. In 2005, I made the strategic decision to transition into Property Management.While I found commercial projects stimulating, it was residential property management that truly captured my heart. I discovered it to be my true calling and quickly rose through the ranks from Property Manager to District Manager, then Regional Manager, and now as the Vice President of Operations with Denizen Management.I have earned the CAPS designation and presently hold a seat on the board of directors at GCNKAA, where I also contribute to two committees. I feel strongly about the need to counteract the decline in qualified candidates due to the accelerated growth of our industry. I firmly believe in the significance of sourcing talent from diverse industries and advocating for the younger generation to consider the multifamily sector as a potential career path. This sector often flies under the radar, but offers rich opportunities. Comprehensive training is crucial to this process, with a distinctive focus placed on delivering exceptional resident experience as overall customer service continues to decline across the industries. One of my prominent strengths is the ability to foster relationships and be a conduit for problem resolution and decision-making. The ability to communicate in three different languages also enhances my capability to engage with diverse demographics.
Listed skills include Property Management, Contract Negotiation, Sales, Real Estate, and 29 others.
