Throughout my undergraduate years, it has been my goal to explore the various parts of the real estate industry and hone the skills necessary for success.  After obtaining my Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson license at 18 years old, I worked for three different brokers gaining the basic qualitative and quantitative skills necessary to analyze and evaluate specific real estate markets, its nuances, and the properties within it.  During the summer before my junior year, I worked for AIG Global Real Estate in New York, where I worked with real estate direct domestic investments and international investment funds, providing me with a strong macro-level understanding of global real estate investing. At Shanghai Centre during the fall of my junior year, I experienced a micro-level view of real estate through asset management in an international work environment.  After focusing primarily on the private side of real estate, during the summer before my senior year, I worked in planning for the City of Ocean City, NJ to understand the policy components that so profoundly shapes development.

Because of these distinct internships, I’ve been able to see real estate through many different lenses.  It is through these different lenses that my understanding of real estate has become richer, more complicated, and better informed.  The entirety of my work experiences has given me both the conceptual framework and technical skills to effectively shape the built environment.
