  • Interview with Rolanda Berisha another female Resident Manager in our industry.

    We found another great female Resident Manager in our industry. They are hard to come by, boy we were lucky to sit down with Rolanda and get some valuable insight on the female perspective of being an RM. Our industry is lacking the female perspective, and value a women brings to the table. Frank kind of shocked Rolanda a bit with one of his stories. You will just have to listen to see what made Rolanda go Damn!
