Kaylee is passionate about systems and processes being in place to help set a culture of care. She enjoys working with teams to create a culture that supports the core mission of the company and which drives retention rates upwards. Over the past ten years she’s worked with dozens of teams and businesses helping them achieve results in areas they’ve historically struggled in. She’s found that weaving the community and businesses together at a local level is essential to thriving in smaller economies. She’s held many leadership roles in the local business community over the years and currently is an active member in THINK a local investment group; as well as a investor in the local Thurston Economic Development Council. Kaylee’s grown in her professional career working with the SBA and the EDC as resources from PTAC to the training programs over the past decade and now is enjoying helping grow and promote the services they provide companies and communities. Kaylee began investing in real estate in 2011 in the multifamily space in Thurston County, WA. She enjoys purchasing distressed properties and pouring life love and design back into them. Her love of real estate, community development and people brought her to OZI. She’s excited to be working with communities at a local level to find QOF assets that could benefit from the Opportunity Zone Program.
