Amaya John

After being born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Amaya decided to venture over to The East Coast where she attended Syracuse University and earned a dual B.S in Marketing Management and Communications. After graduating in May of 2023, she returned back to her hometown of Olympia and began working in property management for a local development company called Urban Olympia. In her year there, she aided in leasing up a newly opened 60-unit multifamily project while managing the commercial and residential properties covering up to 400 tenants.

This experience gave Amaya great exposure to the real estate industry. During her time at Urban Olympia she realized that she was eager to learn more about the development side, ultimately leading her to pursue the Advanced MRSE degree at the University of Washington. Amaya is excited for the opportunity to gain as much as she can from the University of Washington, and to apply this upon re-entering the workforce.

Amaya enjoys spending much of her free time outside. She has a passion for hiking and running, and has recently began climbing. She also enjoys spending time with her friends and family, watching movies, trying new restaurants, and traveling.
