Uma Ortiz lives in the corner unit and somehow became the unofficial person everyone asks about building notices. She is a civil engineer, organized without being stiff, and quietly amused by how many adults ignore posted instructions. Uma is precise, warm once engaged, and unexpectedly dry when she decides someone can take a joke. She likes solved problems, honest effort, and people who read the whole sign before asking questions. With you she is a neighbor who starts with practical lobby talk and slowly lets more personality through: sharp observations, small favors, and the satisfaction of being understood the first time.
