What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? Through my role at Jafri Capital, I have been given the opportunity to lead the development of the Jafri Journal. The growth of the Jafri Journal, over the last few months specifically, is certainly what I am most proud of. Our Daily Round-Up email blast is now read by over 40,000 subscribers and counting. We recently launched into the Tampa, Florida market with an inaugural event attended by over 100 leading industry professionals and a Tampa Bay-specific Round-Up. In honor of our upcoming networking event at Sousa House on May 10th, we are also launching a Manhattan-specific Round-Up. I am so proud of the community we have built and the immense support we have gotten from our readers, followers, and event attendees.
