How did you first hear about CREW Portland?

I was first introduced to CREW by a co-worker at my first CRE job. I attended a luncheon where I connected with several amazing leaders in the market and have attended events sporadically since. This year was the first where I had the bandwidth and opportunity to become a member, and I'm excited to become a more involved participant in CREW programming.

What motivated you to join CREW Portland?

First and foremost, advancing women in CRE is an initiative I care very much about. I love championing other women and watching all of their successes. Second is continuing to develop business relationships in the CRE space in our region. I've recently pivoted from title & escrow to facility services, so I thought it would be a great time to commit to involvement with CREW and meet some new people.

How did you get here?

I've been developing myself as a salesperson in real estate for several years, and my current opportunity arose from one of my networking relationships. The position became open, and a friend recommended me for it. A perfect example of the power of networking and what it can bring into your life!

Tell us something we didn't know about you?

I am an avid golfer (some people in the CRE world definitely DO know this). I try to play 2-3 rounds a week during the summer with my partner.

If you could describe yourself in three words what would they be?

Effervescent, capable, amusing.

Favorite Travel Destination?

Las Vegas is my most favorite vacation spot - great food, shows, and people watching. I look forward to my annual girl's trip there every year. Hawaii is a very close second!

What is one goal you would like to achieve through CREW?

I would love to meet new people and form lasting connections and friendships with them. I'd love to learn from my peers in the facility services space and develop myself as a knowledgeable partner in my new role.
