About Us
The Grid Team
President and Co-Founder
As Grid’s President and Co-founder, I work with both seasoned and first-time investors looking to dive into Portland’s thriving real estate market. Few, if any, investment avenues offer the stability, appreciation, and opportunity for financial leverage that real estate does. However, real estate investing requires enlisting the full-time services of a dedicated property management company to attend to the constant care and maintenance of your asset. I want to make sure investors know that with the right management company, property investing can be an extremely low-stress yet high-return financial pursuit!
I was born and raised here in Portland, secured a mechanical engineering degree at Stanford, and then promptly returned to help launch Grid. I’m an avid backpacker, hiker, and shooter. On my off time, I volunteer as a rope rescue technician and ground searcher for Clackamas County Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue. I love working with property owners and working together to provide unmatched management services so that our owner clients continue to invest in Portland’s booming market…give me a call today!
Commercial and Residential Leasing
I'm Kiely Sherier. I started with Grid in the Fall of 2017 as a leasing agent. I now manage the leasing team for both the commercial and residential sides of Grid. I truly enjoy helping small businesses find their next commercial space and helping residential tenants find a perfect place to call home!
Born and raised in Portland, I have experience in micro-finance, marketing, event planning, and communications. Outside of the office, I run a children's learning center located on a beautiful farm where you'll find me teaching about nature and the great outdoors!
Hello everyone! My name is Tricia and I am the assistant leasing manager here at Grid. I began working for Grid in the Portland office in November of 2022. I have since moved to Scottsdale Arizona and am thankful I was able to continue my career with Grid, just full time remote! In my role as the Assistant Leasing Manger, I focus on overseeing the residential lease up process, reviewing commercial lease documents, and helping prospective tenants find their perfect home or business space! My goal is to make the leasing process both exciting and stress-free, and I am always happy to do everything it takes to make this possible.
I was born and raised in Northern California and went to school at the University of Arizona where I got my degree in Psychology. When I am not at work, I love spending time with family and friends, exploring everything Arizona has to offer, and relaxing at home with my two cats. I am very excited to continue growing within my role here at Grid!
Hello! I’m Sofia Marie, and I started in 2024 as a Commercial Leasing Associate. In my role, I focus on prepping lease agreements and addenda, sending move-in emails, and ensuring future tenants are all set before their move-in day. Additionally, I work closely with Tricia, our Assistant Leasing Manager, and Kiely, our Leasing Manager, to ensure all leasing documents are processed smoothly.
Before joining Grid, I worked in Business Process Outsourcing, where I handled a variety of tasks supporting client companies' business operations. Born and based in the Philippines, I’ve always enjoyed roles that involve organization, communication, and multitasking. I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to work virtually with teams and clients. Grid fosters a supportive and encouraging work culture, and I’m grateful to be part of the team! Outside of work, you’ll usually find me listening to music (mostly K-pop songs), reading on Wattpad, or exploring new places with family and friends. Fun fact: I hate being in loud places, but I absolutely love attending K-pop concerts. I’m very thankful for the opportunity with Grid and am excited to embrace the challenges ahead, open to new possibilities, and look forward to the experiences to be discovered.
Hey there! I’m John, one of your Commercial Leasing Associate here at Grid, and I couldn’t be more excited to be part of this dynamic team since June 2024! I’m all about keeping things running smoothly with marketing, prospect communication, document prep, and a variety of other essential tasks. My mission? To make your experience with Grid effortless, efficient, and outstanding.
When I’m not helping the team and clients thrive, I’m all about making the most of life. Whether it’s family time, hitting the pool, exploring new destinations, diving into music lessons, or shooting hoops, I’m all about embracing the adventure. Oh, and don’t be surprised if you catch me binge-watching movies and relaxing– life’s too short not to enjoy every moment!
I’m beyond excited to continue growing with Grid and helping you find the perfect commercial space that checks all your boxes. Let’s make it happen!

Portfolio Management
Hi, my name is Lindsay! I am originally from Chicago, but I relocated to Portland in the spring of 2011. After years of working in event coordination and communications, I came on board with Grid in the spring of 2018.
My role within Grid Property Management is that of Portfolio Manager, charged with ensuring that our property owners’ financial investments are well maintained and that our valued tenants are happy in their rentals. As a Portland renter myself, I appreciate the importance of an efficient property management company. Timely and competent service is what I strive to provide for all our Grid clients and residents!
When I am not overseeing Team 1’s commercial and residential portfolio, you can find me spending time with family and friends, hiking, working in my art studio, or exploring everything the beautiful PNW has to offer.
Hi everyone! My name is Sofia and I joined Grid as the Assistant Portfolio Manager for Team 1 in February 2023. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a Business Administration degree and while I'm new to property management I love the fact that my job involves interactions with people from different backgrounds and industries.
I am originally from Guatemala and came to the United States when I was 11. Outside of work, I enjoy walks with my corgi Duke, knitting, traveling, spending time with friends and family, or catching up to the latest season of Survivor!

Hi All! I’m Avery, and I joined the Grid Team in July 2022 as the Assistant Portfolio Manager for Team 2. I graduated from the University of Montana in 2018 where I studied sociology and criminology. Although my area of study doesn’t scream property management, it taught me all about how to best work and communicate with people of all walks of life in any situation.
After graduating, I moved to NW Portland where I worked in property management. I found such a sense of fulfillment working with residents and helping them find their new home. Outside of work, I spend a lot of my time trying out new restaurants, reading, and falling in love with the Blazers! If I’m not working, you can probably catch me at a Blazer or Winterhawks game. I’m very excited about this opportunity to work with Grid, and I am looking forward to building relationships with clients and residents!

In my personal time, I enjoy traveling the world with my husband, taking our 2 goldendoodles (Frankie & Sophie) to the park, and I always have a book & a coffee in my hand!
Hi there! I'm Gracel, a Portfolio Associate for Team 2 at Grid, having joined this year. I work remotely from the Philippines and bring eight years of experience in property management.

Maintenance Coordination
Hello! My name is Dylan Rogers and it’s a pleasure to meet you, virtually! I have more than 18 years of experience within Customer Service and one thing that has been ingrained within me through all those years is that people are my passion. I love creating and cultivating relationships. I am honored to say my current role is the Maintenance Coordinator for all our homes and commercial properties.
I was born in Arizona, raised in California and ended up in Texas. I am blessed beyond measure with my amazing wife and 3 little ones! I have had the pleasure to grow with each Company I have worked with and look forward to the new journey that lies ahead with Grid!
In my free time, that usually encompasses spending pretty much all my time with my little ones. Time flies with them so cherishing each moment is something that my wife and I keep at the forefront of each day!
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in property management, it’s that no maintenance request ever comes at a convenient time—but that’s what makes my job exciting!
With over five years of experience in the property management industry, I’ve mastered the art of troubleshooting maintenance issues, coordinating with vendors, and ensuring tenants feel heard—because, at the end of the day, I treat people the way I’d want to be treated.
Hailing from Asia, I’ve had the privilege of working virtually with teams and clients across the globe, making every day a new experience. Fun fact: I have two doctor siblings, so naturally, I’m the tech-savvy one of the family (and if you ain't pulling all-nighters in a hospital, then home’s definitely the VIP lounge!).
When I’m not handling work orders or keeping properties in top shape, you’ll find me on a padel tennis court, binge-watching movies and series, or exploring new destinations.
At Grid, we believe in efficiency, teamwork, and making property management seamless. If you need something fixed, scheduled, or handled, you’re in good hands. (Just don’t ask me for medical advice—I leave that to my siblings.)
Accounting Team
Hi! I'm Roxanne, and I recently joined Grid's Accounting team. With a background in property management and real estate since 2017, I've developed a deep appreciation for the financial side of the business. There's something deeply satisfying about reconciling accounts and bringing order to numbers – it's actually one of my favorite parts of the job!
I grew up in the Philippines, where I studied computer-based accountancy. When I'm not diving into spreadsheets, you'll find me strumming my guitar or ukulele, getting lost in a good book, or watching Korean dramas. I love spending time with my family and friends, whether we're having a cozy day at home or exploring beaches and new places together.
I'm excited to be part of the Grid team, where I can combine my passion for accounting with my property management experience. The collaborative environment here makes every day an opportunity to learn and grow – and I'm looking forward to all the adventures ahead!
Hi, I’m Lou, and I joined Grid as an Accounting Associate in March 2024. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management with experience is in customer service and healthcare claims analysis. I have always been drawn to roles that involve problem-solving and teamwork, which are essential components. During my free time, I love to reconnect with nature as a form of self-care and rejuvenation. I enjoy camping alone to recharge my mind. There's something incredibly peaceful about spending time in the great outdoors, whether it's setting up camp under the stars or enjoying quiet mornings by a serene lake. Solo camping allows me to reflect, unwind, and find inspiration amidst the beauty of nature. It's during these moments that I feel most centered and ready to tackle any challenge that comes my way!
Hi! I'm Mary, and I'm passionate about where finance meets property management. My journey in accounting has taught me to love the stories that numbers can tell, while my years in property management have shown me how those numbers translate into real-world impact.
When I'm not crunching numbers or analyzing financial reports, I'm actively building my own real estate portfolio. It's fascinating to experience property management from both sides – helping owners maximize their returns while ensuring tenants feel valued and heard. Whether I'm negotiating leases, coordinating maintenance, or diving deep into financial statements, I believe in finding that sweet spot where good business meets genuine care for people.
The real estate world has a way of keeping you on your toes, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Every day brings new challenges that test my problem-solving skills and remind me why I fell in love with this industry in the first place.
