How did you first hear about CREW Portland?
I first heard about CREW from my former mentor and Commercial Real Market President, Ann Young. She invited me to my first
Corkscrew Event around 2014 and I thought I how do I get involved with this fantastic group of women.
What motivated you to join CREW Portland?
Networking, Business Development, Meet Inspiring People, Volunteer, Be a voice for women in Commercial Real Estate.
I was really motivated and inspired to join CREW after getting involved in the Future Leaders program. The women and men in this committee were extremely passionate and motivated to lifting up folks who are new to the Commercial Real Estate industry. It was beautiful to see the collaboration and focus on education and diversity from every committee member. CREW's partnership with PSU's MRED program was also a huge factor in my decision to join. Networking at CREW and becoming like family with inspiring members, who are also leaders in our community, is icing on the cake.
In the past, several work acquaintances are/have been members of CREW. They enjoyed the connections and involvement they shared with other members in the organization. In the previous year, I moved from my past employer where I spent 23 years at a large financial institution and in 2020 became part of a smaller organization. Part of this change has led to my aspiration to connect with others in the real estate profession and rebuild relationships.
