We kick off Industry Celebrities & Texas Apartment Association Education Foundation collaboration for TAAEF's Room To Grow series have teamed up to share stories of industry professionals who have found not just a job but a career in the apartment industry.   


In this episode, Kimberly D. Scott, 15-year multifamily professional and Nicolle Block, a multifamily executive with 25 years of experience in this industry, have a conversation about why they love multifamily.   


Nicolle started her career at a very young age. She’s one of the lucky ones who fell into the industry. As a student, Nicolle needed something to help her with housing, and that was when she stumbled on the lane that took her to the industry that she has come to love after more than two decades now. She found her passion and worked her way up year after year. Not everybody is blessed enough to find out right away what sparks joy for them. For Nicole, it only took her less than a year after she started to see that she was on the right path because she saw a lot of movement and growth in the company that she worked for at that time.   With the years that she spent working for one company, she shared that for someone to fully have growth and development, one must not wait for someone to point it out. This misconception often leads to some people quitting and then wondering why the years that passed have been stagnant and unfulfilling. Although some who people who genuinely care for us might be able to point out the things that we can and should do, if we are wanting to have more or something different, then it should be our prerogative to raise our hand and say what we want to learn and do.
