My team and I purchased 15 large commercial properties nationwide, including office, industrial and NNN retail properties. Additionally, I successfully connected a significant amount of CoGP equity.

Best advice to give others: As a speech-language pathologist turned real estate professional, I show women that it is never too late to switch careers and pivot into something that serves one better at the time.
