Years in real estate: 12
How did you get your start in real estate?
In the spring of 2004, I secured a summer internship in the Cushman & Wakefield research department. Once exposed to brokers, I was eager pursue a career in brokerage and interviewed with several of the top 10 New York City brokerage firms at the time. I landed at Newmark Grubb Knight Frank in October of 2004 and have been with NGKF ever since.
What real estate associations or organizations are you a member of?
I am the vice president of the Executives’ Association of New York City and will serve a two-year term as president in 2017. I have served on the board of CREW New York for seven years and am an active member of the Young Men’s/Women’s Real Estate Association of New York.
What recent project or transaction are you most proud of?
I have supported a great client with innovative technology, Orchard Platform, helping them grow from 12 employees to space for 180+ employees over three transactions in the last three years. It has been amazing to participate in their success. This aspect of the business is one of the most rewarding and exciting parts of my profession.
What have been some of the benefits of being a mentor or having a mentor?
I lead a team and mentor two female office leasing brokers. It is gratifying to be a mentor to women who are trying to learn, gain experience and develop successful careers of their own. An obvious benefit is the excellent support they provide towards the maintenance and growth of our team’s production. In an industry that struggles to produce successful senior women, I consider it an obligation to give other women the opportunity to compete and win business.
