Getting to Know Your Trail Guides! There are a lot of people to get to know when you move into a new community. You can find information about The Trails Staff here or at one of our many community events. We love getting to know our residents! The Trail Guide September & October 2014 Volume 2, Issue 2 Rhiannon Peterman - Senior Community Manager I am the Senior Community Manager from Fort Collins, CO. I live with my two amazing children, Adriana 16 and Hunter 11. We also have a cat named Dublin. I graduated in 1997 with my LPN license and a Restorative Nurse Degree. I have held customer service positions my entire career. I served my first three years at a small nursing agency, but have since moved into property management full time. I love this line of work. It is always EXCITING. I consider myself to be funny, understanding and knowledgeable. Above all, I always want to be welcoming. Please feel free to come visit me anytime. BTW - My favorite movie is Super Troopers and I love to cook. It’s hard to believe that just one year ago we were leasing out of our cars with hard hats on. Now, at the end of September, we will be celebrating the one year anniversary of our first move ins! To celebrate, we will be hosting a Spooky Anniversary Party in October to thank all of our wonderful residents for how far we’ve come in the last year. After all, we wouldn’t be where we are now, without you! Kelsey James - Assistant Community Manager I am a Colorado Native, born and raised in Littleton, CO. I have lived in Fort Collins for 4 years now and I love it here. I love hiking and I am always looking for new adventures on my days off. I have worked with McWhinney for 3 years now and I love it. I feel honored to be a part of such an amazing community here at The Trails. Kelly Hooper - Leasing Professional I am a newer associate to the McWhinney family. I feel very fortunate to be part of such an amazing group of people and a family driven company. I am a fun loving, Fort Collins native, who has seen many changes here locally in our community and graduated from Rocky Mountain High School in 1989. I pride myself in family, strong work ethics and friendships that last a lifetime. I am blessed to be a mother to 4 very special adopted children, and strive to meet there changing needs daily. I have a large family, so gatherings and holidays are very important to me. I enjoy fishing, camping and any water sports, as spring and summer are my favorite times of year. I look forward to being part of the McWhinney family for a long time to come. September also marks the beginning of Football Season and we are ready to have some fun! On Sept. 14th, we are hosting a Chili Cook Off during the Chiefs vs. Broncos game. Bring in your best batch of Chili and enter it to win NFL gear for a team of your choice! The Trails will provide the condiments, so let us know which ones taste best with your chili! If you don’t have a recipe to share, come in and be our taste tester! The season for gardening is coming to an end, and what a great season it has been! If you have a garden plot, keep an eye out for instructions on Community Garden clean up in October. For those of you wondering about a garden plot for next year, we will have a lottery drawing for all plots in the spring. Taylor Worthington - Leasing Professional I love spending time outdoors. I am a semi-professional sailor and avid snowboarder. I have three children all with four legs. I am engaged to get married in 2014 to a wonderful woman named Jordan, I’m very lucky. I am originally from Lawrence, KS and spent the first 16 years of my life there, then I moved to Kansas City to graduate high school. After high school I moved to Chicago for 2.5 years. In 2009, I moved back to Kansas City and met Jordan. We were engaged in 2010 and moved to Fort Collins in 2011. I bring to The Trails a year and half experience in property management from a different community here in Fort Collins doing my same position as a Leasing Professional. My door is always open to you! Whether you want to talk about sports, world peace or a problem you are having, please do not hesitate to come see me!
