Share a favorite memory from your time with Royal American.
There are really too many to choose from and I do not know how to narrow it down. While working for RAM I received my Certified Property Manager (CPM) designation in 2004 and finished my bachelor’s degree in 2008. A fond memory was: Reuniting with all the RAM PC corporate employees after the hurricane Michael and learning everyone was OK. Then setting up a makeshift workspace at the Boardwalk and gaining a better understanding for and appreciation for one another as we worked through hard times together. This time also included a great level of care and support from RAM employees outside of PC. Tough situation but greatly improved comradery in the company.
Share some of your interests and hobbies outside of Royal American.
I love spending time with my grown children in Denver. I enjoy traveling, hiking, the beach, boating, and my newest hobby-bird watching (showing my age-ha! ha!).
What advice would you give to someone just getting started?
Work hard, keep learning new skills, be flexible, keep a positive attitude even in the face of adversity, maintain a healthy work-life balance, take good care of yourself- work out, eat well, and get proper rest, find a mentor to help you stay on track with your goals, and most of all – do not take things personally and understand we all make mistakes -it is ok, just use it as a learning experience. These things along with being patient and kind to others will help your career flourish.
