TALENTED WOMEN (CONTINUED)
C H A N T Y L E TAY L O R LEAD TRANSACTION COORDINATOR, PARKE POINTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE BEST SKILLS THAT YOU BRING TO YOUR JOB? I love people. I am a very organized person and I like to think I am a good team player for our team!! I am motivated, humble, and hungry! [I] started with John L Scott almost 10 years ago as Front Desk. I quickly moved into Transaction Coordinating, and now I am in Operations for the company. It’s been so fun, challenging, and rewarding all at the same time! WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS FOR YOU, PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY? I am the mother of 4; of a 10-year-old boy, 8-year-old twins (boy and girl), and ~2-year-old girl, and a wife to my junior high sweetheart. Going from Front desk to Operations has been an overwhelming gratifying achievement. I never thought I would be here, but I am and I love it. OUTSIDE OF WORK/PROFESSION, DO YOU HAVE SKILLS OR TALENTS THAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT? I love to be on the lake in our boat with my family. I am a surfer [and] it’s my happy place! I like to ride motorcycles. My husband has done well teaching me. I grew up dancing since I was 2 years old and I actually performed with Disney and traveled with my dance team all over the US. WHAT ARE SOME CAUSES YOU CARE ABOUT? John L Scott has a [nonprofit organization] called the John L Scott foundation. We raise money to better our local St. Luke’s Children’s hospital. Three out of my four kids were in the NICU, which makes this close to my heart. We do a lot through the community to help raise money for this foundation. I also help put together a Turkey Bowl every year that raises money for the Idaho Food Bank. WHO IS SOMEONE WHOM YOU ADMIRE, AND WHY? I admire Ellen DeGeneres. She has such a heart of gold and the kindness that feeds off her makes me more than happy. I look up to my mentor, Michael Shumway. He is teaching me to be the best person I can be, and he genuinely wants me to be successful in my career. Then there is my husband. We have grown up together and I just admire everything about him. He is amazing with my kids.
