I'm pumped about real estate, finance, and tech! I love turning cool ideas into actual things, and I'm all about making plans that work. I'm super into how housing, digital infrastructure, and logistics are shaping the future economy.In my real estate gig, I've been the go-to person for making things happen – from leading teams and handling investments across different spots to managing a bunch of properties in an 18-asset portfolio. I've been in the thick of it, from grabbing new opportunities to making sure we get the most out of every deal and even overseeing the nitty-gritty of putting up over 10,000 housing units.Later on, I stepped up as the bridge between the capital side and the day-to-day operations, pulling in the funds needed to keep things rolling. I've had my hands in all sorts of real estate, from developing land to dealing with homes, apartments, mortgages, and commercial spots. Even though I'm all about housing, I've got the lowdown on how everything in real estate fits together.Looking to grow my personal and professional network.
