She creates maintenance schedules, works with vendors, develops our use of property management software, and works on marketing and leasing. Michelle also oversees internal bookkeeping, accounting, and file management for our properties. With her excellent skills in photography, communications, and marketing, Michelle is indispensable to our day-to-day operations.  Michelle often works side by side with Neeley Wells, and her role at UDP is always expanding as we acquire and develop additional properties.
