How do you balance your rising career with your personal life? 

My rising career is enmeshed with my personal life as I am always looking to better myself in both avenues. In the field of commercial real estate we are always selling 3 main things: Information, people, and then the real estate. The information and people I accumulate in my personal life are an integral part to my rising career. 

Beyond your professional achievements, what are some of your passions or hobbies? 

I am passionate about literature and physical fitness and wellbeing. In my spare time, you can find me on the volleyball or basketball courts (and now pickle ball) or at a local community workout class. I enjoy taking a rest from these activities by winding down with a good book and NYT crossword. 

Who are the key people in your life that have contributed to your success? 

My father profoundly shaped my personal and professional growth. Privileged to learn real estate intricacies from him before entering the workforce, weekends riding to properties taught me the vital skill of attention to detail – a valuable asset in any aspect of life.

Outside of your career, where? else do you seek continuous learning and personal growth?? The diverse communities I am a part of and reading. Being exposed to different experiences, view points and knowledge is the key to continuous growth. While I continue to hone my expertise in real estate, I am a firm believer “it is much better to know something about everything than everything about something.”
