How long have you been a member of the IKO Chapter?   

Little over 2 months now

What is/was your primary reason for joining CoreNet Global?  

To join a group of like-minded professionals dedicated to creating workplaces that inspire, support, and empower people to thrive. Learning and surrounding myself with the best corporate real estate leaders was a no brainer.

    What is one thing others would find interesting about you (personally or professionally)? 

    I am going to be a girl dad here in 3 months!

    If you could do any job in the world, other than what you do now, what would that be (ie. your dream job)  

    I'm living my dream job, having grown into the company my great-grandfather founded in 1921. If I ever pursued a different path, trading on Wall Street would be a pretty exciting option!

    What are your hobbies?  

    Playing and coaching basketball, golf, and doing projects around the house.

    What words of advice would you give to young professionals entering into the corporate real estate world today?  

    Invest in relationships as much as results. Successful people in corporate real estate are built on trust, adaptability, and a deep understanding of how space influences business. Stay curious, proactive, and never be afraid to put yourself out there. Do not be afraid to question the status quo.
