What are some of your biggest accomplishments in the last 12 months?

Giving back to the real estate and mortgage industry is paramount to me; that is the primary reason I devote time to speaking to industry groups on pertinent mortgage topics. I consider one of my biggest accomplishments in the last year to include working with a team of professionals from the MBAofNY to produce a top-flight real estate summit providing up to date information to the real estate and banking communities and which also provided scholarship funds to students wanting to find careers in the industry. 

What blogs, resources, podcasts or influencers have helped you?

I start my day reading the MBA newsletter and Rob Chrisman’s report to stay up to date on national industry issues, business opportunities and politics. Locally, I rely on publications like NYREJ to keep me current. But, the influencers that have helped me the most are the experts and professionals that I have worked with. throughout my career. 

How important is it for women to create a personal brand?

If you choose a profession that you love and are passionate about and then do your best at it, you will brand yourself. Commitment, knowledge and performance engender respect and, in turn, success. Those are the qualities that I strive for and which I hope have ‘branded me’. 

How many messages are in your inbox right now and how do you manage email?

More than I can count but I will answer them all before I go to bed tonight!

What do you do for fun?

Anything and everything is fair game as long as I am doing it with friends, colleagues and/or family. 

In one word, describe yourself:
