While pursuing my MSc studies in Birmingham, UK, I take on a part-time role as a Resident Coordinator at Prime Student Living. In this role, I am responsible for overseeing maintenance and repairs, managing budgets, enforcing building rules and regulations, and serving as the primary point of contact for tenants. I also handled tenant complaints and concerns, coordinated with contractors and vendors, and ensured compliance with all local laws and regulations. Balancing my academic studies with this part-time job is a challenging task, but it is helping me to develop strong time management and prioritization skills. I was able to gain a deeper understanding of the day-to-day challenges of managing a building and the ability to effectively solve problems and create a positive living experience for the residents.
