Title: Vice President

Company Name: Norman Bobrow & Co. Inc.

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of?

I recently completed a 25,000 s/f retail deal in SoHo on behalf of the Museum of Women that is moving into 480 Broadway this summer.

Who was/is your mentor and how did s/he influence/help you in your career?

Norman Bobrow is/and has been my mentor since I joined the industry. I credit my success to his support and direction. He supported me from day one and taught me that fighting through and learning from failures provides a pathway to success. He also reinforced the value of hard work and dedication that I learned from my parents.

Favorite quote:

“Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves” –Abraham Lincoln

How do you contribute to your community or your profession?

I volunteer weekly for Lighthouse Guild, an organization for the visually impaired. I was recently invited to join the Emerging Leadership Board focused on the future growth of the organization. In 2018 I held an art show, sold over 40 of my own pieces/paintings, and donated all of the proceeds to the Lower East Side Girls club. I also mentor and train younger brokers and run the internship program at my company.
