About Kendal Kilby
I’m a proud Double Dawg from the University of Georgia, with both my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Advertising from the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, plus a Minor in Communication. I’ve built my career at the intersection of student housing, sales, and marketing, and I love the challenge of turning strategy into real results on the ground.I currently serve as a Portfolio Sales & Marketing Manager at Student Quarters, partnering with communities across the portfolio to drive leasing performance through stronger sales strategy, lead management, outreach, and brand execution. Before stepping into this role, I worked as a Traveling Leasing Specialist for Student Quarters, supporting multiple assets including a lease-up, auditing renewal and outreach trackers, and coaching onsite teams on SQUAD-driven marketing and outreach. Prior to that, I was an Associate Community Manager at Landmark Athens, where I gained hands-on experience in operations, resident relations, leasing, marketing, social media, and event planning.I thrive in fast-paced, “roll up your sleeves” environments and enjoy digging into dashboards, trackers, and calendars to find small adjustments that unlock big momentum. I’m proficient in Microsoft Office, Entrata, Adobe Suite, and Google tools, and I’m especially energized by work that blends data, creativity, and collaboration. Long term, I’m excited to continue growing in student housing, sales leadership, and marketing strategy, helping teams tell a stronger story, close more leases, and create communities residents are genuinely proud to call home.
