Amy Barricelli: Building a Career That Doesn't Need a Vacation as SVP of RR Living

Shiv Gettu sits down with Amy Barricelli, SVP at RR Living, who shares her journey from selling apartment guides in the late 90s to becoming a respected multifamily leader who refuses to view work as separate from her identity.Growing up in South Jersey with divorced teacher parents, Amy developed independence early, even taking out loans at age 13 to attend the private high school of her choice. After studying English and continuing to graduate school at Oxford, she found her way into apartment marketing through a commission-based sales position that unexpectedly launched her multifamily career.Through candid conversations about her marriage via eHarmony, her six special-needs rescue dogs, and her philosophy on creating "a life you don't need a vacation from," Amy reveals how mentorship from Melanie French transformed her approach to leadership from demanding results to providing grace and bringing team members along on the journey.Humans of Multifamily is presented by Zuma, the AI assistant for your full-resident lifecycle.Visit getzuma.com and follow Shiv on LinkedIn00:00 South Jersey Upbringing & Early Independence10:00 Finding Her Path in Sales & Customer Connection24:00 Creating Work-Life Integration Rather Than Balance38:00 Learning to Lead with Grace & Understanding50:00 Defining Success Beyond Titles & Money
