What is one major challenge you’ve overcome as a leader, and what did it teach you?

One major challenge was leading a team through market uncertainty during COVID. Overcoming a drop in morale and momentum, I focused on clear communication, resetting priorities and keeping everyone aligned on what we could control. By staying transparent and steady, we were able to regain focus and deliver positive results during a difficult time. Getting through this unprecedented period taught me that leadership is about clarity, resilience, and maintaining trust in difficult moments.

What daily habit or routine helps you stay focused or motivated as a leader?

Reviewing my goals each morning keeps me disciplined with my time and focused on what matters most. 

What advice would you share with emerging professionals striving to become future leaders in commercial real estate?

Master the fundamentals, especially finance, markets, and deal structure. Build trust with others by being reliable and detail-oriented. Start by focusing on one area and work hard to become really good at it. After which, branch out and develop new skill sets. Equally important is to build strong relationships because they’re where most opportunities come from. Think like an owner, not just an employee. Finally, stay adaptable as markets shift, and learn from mentors.
