At the end of 2023, Amanda was facing housing instability after divorce and seeking a new pathway to stability for her and her children. Seacoast Church connected her to Entryway South Carolina for help. She began Entryway’s training in Charleston and doubled down on her commitment by attending the Industry Pathways Leasing Agent Training, offered by Entryway South Carolina and the Upper State Apartment Association (USAA) in Greenville.
Amanda’s dedication and drive didn’t go unnoticed. She quickly stood out as a star student, and her hard work paid off when she was hired by Bell Partners in January 2024.
Her first month on the job was nothing short of remarkable—Amanda signed an impressive 17 leases! But she didn’t stop there. Over the next 12 months, Amanda immersed herself in the multifamily industry, joining multiple committees through USAA and excelling in her role with Bell Partners.
In January 2025, she celebrated not only her one-year work anniversary but also her graduation from the Entryway program. And to top off that month, Amanda was honored at the USAA Excellence Awards, where she was named Leasing Rookie of the Year!
We’re proud of Amanda’s unwavering commitment and enthusiasm. She’s proven that hard work and determination can truly change the course of your life. Here’s to many more achievements ahead—cheers, Amanda! 🎉
Here’s what Amanda’s supervisor has to say:
“Amanda has made significant contributions to our community and industry during her first year! Through her participation in the Entryway program, she has demonstrated exceptional knowledge and a range of talents that have greatly benefited our property and company. Amanda consistently exhibits leadership, compassion, and professionalism. . . She inspires me every day!”
