Desiree Romero

With more than 11 years in the multifamily industry, I’m proud to serve as a District Manager with Avenue5 Residential. My journey began right out of high school when I took a chance on a leasing position and quickly discovered that property management—not college—was the path meant for me. Since then, I’ve grown through every on-site role, from Leasing Agent to Assistant Manager, Property Manager, and now District Manager.After taking a year off to spend precious time with my daughter (who somehow is already four!), I returned to the industry with a fresh perspective and a drive to keep growing. Through the AAMD’s MIND program, I’ve been able to strengthen my leadership skills, expand my network, and continue working toward my long-term goal of becoming a Regional Manager.When I’m not at work, you’ll probably find me laughing with friends and family, binge-watching terrible reality TV, or enjoying a well-earned margarita.
