One thing on my bucket list: I want to do a cross country US road trip. America is such a large country, I think it’s important to experience its diverse landscapes, cultures, people and history and what better way than a road trip with friends.

When I am not working, I am: Playing basketball or golf. I’m a big sports enthusiast and I’ve been lucky enough to participate in various youth programs that have allowed me to share my passion for sport. You don’t have to be a great player to help kids build confidence, and it’s a great way to give back to the community and positively impact young lives.

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? I’m most proud to be part of the JLL New York capital markets debt team that completed more than $23 billion of financing and JV equity volume in 2022. I worked on several deals that contributed to helping the team achieve that #1 NY Debt Intermediary rank, including a $575 million debt package for Fisher Brothers to refinance Park Avenue Plaza.

What makes this nominee a RISING STAR?
