Molly has over a decade of experience in property management, including multi-family housing, student housing, and senior housing. Molly started in the industry right out of college and has served in various roles on the property and corporate levels, including sales, marketing, accounting, public relations, and operations. Before joining The Claiborne, Molly worked as Director of Property Management (DPM) for a private real estate investment company that managed more than 40,000 student and multi-family housing beds across the United States.

Molly’s experience and success has also included complete rebranding and renovations of over 3000 beds within large university markets.

Before recently moving to Asset Manager, Molly served for over two years as a Regional Director of Operations for The Claiborne, providing leadership to the onsite communities to live out the company’s mission and values, as well as coordinate day to day operations of her assigned portfolio. As Asset Manager, Molly is responsible for managing the portfolio assets with a focus of increasing value, minimizing risks, and maximizing growth.
