\"Lauren<\/a>Lauren Chung pulls inspiration from multiple facets of her life to help clients find the proper solutions for their business needs. Everything from her background in economics to athletic training has equipped her with the skills needed to serve Yardi <\/a>as a Senior Sales Executive.<\/p>\n

For Lauren, life seems to have come full circle in recent years. \u201cMy family emigrated from Korea when I was five. For the first five years or so in the US, we were living in affordable housing. It wasn\u2019t until recently, when I began working in the industry, that I realized that we were living in affordable housing and how that had helped us. Everything has come full circle,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m truly able to see the benefit of having those sorts of programs that help people who are just coming to this country or getting on their feet for other reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a child, she had no idea that she would eventually find herself in a position to help families like her own. Lauren obtained her bachelor\u2019s degree in economics at the University of Maryland before making her way towards a career in multifamily housing. It was a career path that fell right into place. \u201cI began working in mutual funds but that was short lived. Next, I worked HR and office management for VisualHOMES. The company itself began changing direction, targeting multifamily about 15 years ago, so all of us headed that way.\u201d She joined the Yardi family after the acquisition of VisualHOMES in 2010. \u201cI would like to have joined sooner. I like what I do now and I really enjoy working with Yardi. But everything worked out well and I\u2019m really happy here.\u201d Lauren\u2019s favorite part of the job is getting to know new people, including clients and fellow Yardi employees. \u201cMy clients are great. Yardi staff is wonderful and I like interacting with people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lauren\u2019s compassion for people stems from her close-knit family. \u201cI\u2019m very family-oriented. Only my nuclear family immigrated when I was young so we all grew very close. My three sisters are my best friends now.\u201d She dedicates most of her free time to her family, bustling between the activities of her three active, 14-year-old triplets.\u00a0 \u201cMy son has been doing gymnastics since he was little. He\u2019s pretty competitive now so we spend many weekends going to meets. One of my daughters is in track and that keeps us busy. Both girls are into music. They perform in the school band and orchestra. Those are my evenings and weekends!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Lauren<\/a>When she is not fulfilling the role of super mom and sales extraordinaire, Lauren takes time to support family and friends who take on tough physical challenges on behalf of worthy causes. \u201cI like to support friends and family who are running, doing fundraising that requires some sort of physical exertion. I can really appreciate their work.\u201d Such fundraisers help Lauren reconnect with a passion from her past. She casually explains, \u201cFew people know that I\u2019ve run six marathons.\u00a0 The first marathon I ran was the Marine Corps Marathon in DC. I ran on behalf of Big Brothers Big Sisters.\u201d Big Brothers Big Sisters<\/a> is a mentorship program for at-risk youth that blends social outreach, academic excellence and career planning. That first marathon sparked a lifetime dedication to giving, particularly to causes where those raising funds back their honorable intentions with a little sweat and perseverance.<\/p>\n

Participation in marathons has taught Lauren numerous life lessons. While perseverance, dedication, and goal setting all come with the territory, Lauren fondly remembers the importance of motivation and striving for improvement. \u201cDuring one of my hardest marathons, I was lagging towards the end, really<\/em> lagging–and this speed walker passed me! That was funny because she was really trying to be nice. For a while she kept pace with me and then she just sped off,\u201d she laughs.<\/p>\n

When the housing industry was at its leanest, Lauren endured by combining her life skills into a targeted whole. She knows what it takes to listen, adapt, and see an objective through to its completion. In the end, her efforts result in equipping firms with the tools necessary to provide families with the housing that they need. \u201cYes, everything has come full circle,\u201d Lauren says. \u201cIt\u2019s really fulfilling work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
