Atiana, a single mother of two and pregnant with her third child, faced an overwhelming situation when she lost her housing. She made the tough decision to send her two children to live with their father while she sought refuge at Maggie’s Place, a community for pregnant and parenting women.
During her year at Maggie’s Place, Atiana joined Entryway, where she earned certifications, completed Savvy Leasing’s Uplevel Leasing course, and prepared for job interviews. Her hard work paid off when she was hired as a leasing agent at a luxury Greystar property, where she now lives with her baby boy and supports her mother, who also faced housing struggles.
Atiana even returned to Maggie’s Place to share her journey, co-leading an interviewing skills workshop for other moms and inspiring them to pursue Entryway training. Her cousin, who left a domestic violence relationship, also joined Entryway after hearing Atiana’s story. She now works at another Entryway Industry Partner community, is pursuing a BA in Business Administration, and lives near Atiana in her own apartment!
Meanwhile, Atiana’s talent and work ethic earned her an annual raise, a performance-based raise, and a promotion to Assistant Community Manager—tremendous milestones in just one year. She continues to live on-site and grow her career with Greystar in this new leadership role. Atiana approached this opportunity with determination and passion, not just taking a job, but embracing a new career in property management.
Congratulations Atiana!
