About
I came to real estate through operations and workplaces.
Before leasing offices, I worked in hospitality, building operations and flexible workspace. That background still shapes how I see an office building. The asset matters, but so does the way it works every day.
I now work on leasing, client relationships and market intelligence. I use SI for data analysis, dashboards, repeatable reporting and internal training.
