From graduating high school early as Valedictorian to getting hired at the Kennedy Space Station because of her persistence, Kareena Gray of Alair Homes Charlotte has always strived for finding the best and most efficient way to do things.
This has allowed her to shine in residential construction and project management, and she recently won a CoTY award for project manager of the year at her local NARI chapter.
"We always have adversity in front of us," says Gray. "It's how you step back, take a deep breathe, and bring all the parties together, and just come up with a solution. I don't need to have the solution myself."
Today, we learn more about Kareena, talk the importance of processes, and what makes an effective operations manager.
