Executive Director
Institute of Real Estate Management - Boston

What are some of the benefits of being a mentor or having a mentor? That I get to help people pursue a real estate career – which can include property management and other aspects of the real estate market.

In the past year, what project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? I am proud of the work the Boston chapter did in the year of COVID-19. While everyone struggled with their own personal jobs and careers, the Boston chapter was able to rise above the curve and pivot towards online training, and I feel it was a great success.
What is one characteristic that you believe every woman in commercial real estate should possess? Honesty and dedication to their profession.
What time management strategies do you find to be the most effective for you? Don’t volunteer if you’re too busy – stay focused and do one task at a time.
