Maurielle – Growing through Education

Did you know that Camden has an internship program?! As a student of The University of Florida, Maurielle found out about Camden through Google and Fortune Magazine. During a meet and great at Camden Westchase Park, Maurielle, felt welcomed and excited about the opportunity to join the Camden family. During her 3-month internship she was able to work in the regional office and gain valued insight on the company as well as our culture.

After completing her internship she was selected for the Manager in Development Program and worked alongside experienced professionals throughout Central Florida. Upon finishing the Manager in Development Program, Maurielle was promoted to Assistant Manager where she worked for a few years, until her most recent promotion of Community Manager at Camden North Quarter.

Maurielle’s journey with Camden is only one way in which Camden helps their employees grow professionally through internal development programs. Camden also offers education assistance through tuition reimbursement, paying up to $4,500 annually toward qualified classes.

Liz – Growing in your Family

Liz is the Orlando District Coordinator and has been with Camden for over 25 years. During the 2 ½ years that Liz and her husband fostered their son Steven they quickly realized that he was meant to be a part of their family forever. The foster care system helped cover some of the initial expenses, however through Camden’s Adoption Assistance they offer a reimbursement benefit of up to $5,000 per child. Along with the reimbursement benefits, Camden offers three weeks of paid leave at 60% base pay to enjoy time with your family.

In addition to Adoption Assistance, Camden offers child care discounts at select child care facilities. If you have a child getting ready to head off to college Camden also offers a Scholarship Fund that your child is eligible for. This Fund covers reimbursement of $4,500 annually toward a 4-year undergraduate degree and a $2,500 annually toward a 2-year community college degree.

Jose – Growing Healthy

After a few years he was promoted to a Maintenance Technician. Through hard work and dedication Jose was promoted to Maintenance Supervisor at Camden Waterford Lakes in 2017.
