I joined the Essex family back in 2002 as a Leasing Agent at Foothill/Woodland
                              Commons in the PNW. I was honored my first year with the Star is Born award and
                              I  continued  to  grow  in  Operations  for  the  next  two  years. During  that time, I
                              earned  a  Star  Performance  in  Sales  award,  was  promoted  to
                              Assistant Manager, and had the amazing opportunity to know and love two other
                              PNW communities, The Elliot at Mukilteo and Forestview.

                              In  2004,  I  took  an  internal  Bookkeeper  training  class  led  by  IT  for  Assistant
           Larson             Managers and a few days after the class, I received a call asking if I would be
                              interested in joining the Application Support Team which kicked off the beginning
           Manager of         of my Corporate adventure. Immediately, when I started this job, I had a passion
           Information        for  supporting….  our  associates,  the business, and  my  team.  As  a  Senior
           Technology         Application Support Analyst, I provided daily support for the business for over 11
                              years and was part of some major earlier Essex IT milestones, such as the AMSI to
                              Yardi system/data conversion and the rollout of the RentCafe Resident Portal.

               I  joined  Voyager  Admin  in  2015  as  an  IT  Systems  Administrator  and  have  been  part  of  the
               Enterprise Applications team ever since. Being in this position expanded my technical knowledge
               of  our  systems  at  an  administrator  level.  I  also  transitioned  to  a  new  role  in  projects  and
               implementations where I had to learn to become confident in my ability to be a leader and an
               advisor. I was awarded with a Corporate Associate of the Year award in 2016.

               All that I have learned, the experiences I have gained and the opportunities that have been
               provided at Essex over the last 18+ years has brought me to my job today. I was recently (2020)
               promoted to  Manager  in  Information Technology.  I  now  have  the  privilege  of  managing our
               amazing Application Support Team and continue to be part of a core technical team involved in
               system implementations, upgrades, projects, and new integrations.

               My Essex story continues, and I look forward to the journey ahead…
