Briefly tell us what you do and how long you have been in the Commercial Real Estate industry: I have been with the company since 2014 – working initially part-time as the Office Manager assisting with financing, accounting and acquisitions and managing property management, marketing, investor relations, office management – whatever really needed to be done.  My role has evolved to solely investor relations over the years where I make sure our current 224 Partners are provided the best customer service and transparency as well as marketing and building a national brand to attract new investors. Prior to Investors Associated, I worked in legal doing real estate and trust and estate transactions, so I have seen many sides of CRE.  

Which project or professional accomplishment are you most proud of? I am very proud of how I have rose in the company building not only a investor relations department from inception, but also taking that a step farther to build a national brand.
