In my role as a Development Associate, I contributed to the multifaceted redevelopment of retail malls from places to shop into dynamic, mixed-use centers of community life. My involvement in projects began with the initial layout and underwriting, where I worked with our design, construction, and leasing teams to create plans that activated our shopping centers and engaged with the surrounding community while delivering financial returns for investors. I was responsible for our yield on cost modeling and coordinating with our Finance and Asset Management teams to forecast the long term cash flow implications of a proposed strategy. Once a redevelopment was approved, I collaborated with the local municipalities to entitle the project and, where necessary, negotiated an incentive package or Community Facilities District. After a project broke ground, I communicated our progress to the involved stakeholder groups and benchmarked our progress against the proposed schedule and budget.In addition to my redevelopment tasks, I also worked on special projects within our development group. These included authoring a white paper on a partnership framework that aligned the economic interests of anchor department stores with our own and researching the role cross-parking could play in the future of mixed-use assets.

The Construction Engineering & Research Laboratory (CERL) is a test center for the Army Corps of Engineers, focused on developing innovative technologies and programs to support the missions of the U.S. Army.During my time at CERL, I focused primarily on researching ways for the U.S. Army to reduce the amount of water used for operations. My first project involved investigating a number of water conservation measures and conducting cost/benefit analyses to determine the most economical solutions for reducing the water usage of an individual building. Once this work was completed, my focus shifted to examining water utilization at the installation level and developing a set of standards to aid base planners in reducing the amount of water used at their site. My final research project centered on generating a formula which allowed for a more accurate prediction of future water use. For all of these tasks, I was a co-author of a technical report, which was distributed to installations around the world.
