In the past year, what project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of?
Very proud of the AmTrust admin team. The group is a mix of experienced and non-experienced title professionals.

When I am not working, I love to bake, go to salsa classes, hike, yoga and meditate.

What books or social media influencers would you recommend to other women?
Gabrielle Bernstein. I have been following her for almost two years.

Why should women consider a career in commercial real estate and related services?
