Proudest moment recently: We closed the largest transaction by a digital platform in May 2019, a $324 million portfolio of Cabela’s/Bass Pro stores. A major record!

Favorite podcast: “Masters of Scale” –no question!
How do you hold your own in a negotiation?
When negotiating, a woman’s EQ can help her control the room. Get out in front of the room’s emotional energy and lead it.
