How did you first hear about CREW Portland?
Many years ago while searching online for opportunities to get connected in the CRE market.
What motivated you to join CREW Portland?
I was inspired by the environment that CREW promotes to grow both professionally and personally. With so many accomplished women having a mentorship mentality CREW felt like a good fit for me. I have always had the mindset of "The people we choose to surround ourselves with impacts the way we think, act and feel on a day-to-day basis" Being a part of this amazing group of women has been a lifeline for me through these unprecedented times.
How did you get here?
I have always found helping people to be rewarding so it was no surprise that I found myself working in a service related industry. Starting in Fire Life Safety I focused on educating property managers on how to keep their buildings up to fire code. During this time I also learned about many of the other concerns that property managers face day to day. When I was approached by Bastion Security to share how they use live active security monitoring to deter crime I knew it was something I could stand behind and be excited about sharing with others.
Tell us something we didn't know about you?
With 5 kids and 18 years of experience, I take a lot of pride in being a mom as it is the most selfless rewarding thing I have ever been a part of.
If you could describe yourself in three words what would they be?
Authentic | Motivated | Dependable
Favorite Travel Destination?
Anywhere near nature and water.
What is one goal you would like to achieve through CREW?
One goal I have always had but have been terrified to embrace is to feel comfortable with talking in front of groups of people.
