My recent graduation from Northwestern University with a Master of Project Management in Real Estate Development is the latest step in my lifelong interest in the industry. As the daughter of an architect and a civil engineer, I grew up around construction and real estate. After becoming a civil and industrial engineer myself, I decided to make real estate development my career, relying on my industry knowledge, analytical ability, and strong project management skills to oversee construction of a $300M development that combined apartments, a school, and a medical facility. In this highly complex project, I used my technical training and leadership skills to connect the job site to the boardroom, successfully collaborating with on-site engineers, executives, owners, government officials, and other stakeholders. I’m also passionate about a building’s interiors, and in my spare time, I enjoy designing beautiful living spaces for my friends and family and collecting prominent Russian artists like Pyotr Dik, Viktor Dinnekov, and Valery Kokurin. I also love exploring new places and have visited all seven continents.
