Years in real estate: 12 

What real estate associations or organizations are you a member of? PWC, SEAONY, ASCE, AISC, SEAOI, NCSEA, Architectural League

How have you navigated obstacles to achieve success in your career?

I see a lot of potential in the AEC industry, particularly in NYC where progress happens at lightening pace, to become a real positive leader in the future of how our cities operate and how people live. Not only are projects more complex in terms of geometry but also in connection too. 

How do you play your strengths to your advantage in your career?

I am interested in people. This along with my technical experience makes me an asset to our clients.

What trends are you seeing so far this year? 

I’m seeing design firms, though overworked and underpaid, push the envelope with innovation especially in regards to construction and manufacturing.

What do you do for fun?

A good day for me is a trip to the gym, a clean apartment, and a snuggle with my Indonesian cats.
