2026 Women in CRE: Featured Company - Partridge Snow & Hahn

We are excited to recognize the women of PSH’s Real Estate team for the expertise, leadership, and perspective they bring to New England’s commercial real estate industry. We’re proud of the depth of experience across our team and the collaborative, client-focused approach each woman brings to her work. Together, they demonstrate the impact women can have across all facets of the commercial real estate industry.

What professional accomplishment or experience are you especially proud of?
Some of the work I’m most proud of has been helping bring multifamily housing communities from concept to reality. These projects provide a mix of workforce, affordable, and market-rate housing that is deeply needed in the communities they serve. Having the opportunity to guide projects through their various stages and then see the lasting impact they have on residents and the broader community has been incredibly rewarding.

What are you most excited about in your work or the commercial real estate industry right now?
I’m excited by the continued opportunities to use tax credit programs to make challenging real estate projects possible. Historic, low-income housing, New Markets, brownfields, and other housing tax credits can be powerful tools for creating much-needed housing, revitalizing underutilized properties, and bringing new investment to communities. I enjoy finding creative ways to bring these programs together and working with developers to turn projects that might not otherwise be feasible into successful, lasting developments.

What has helped shape the way you approach your work and career?
Representing different sides of a transaction has shaped the way I approach my practice. Over the course of my career, I’ve represented developers, lenders, and investors, which has given me a strong understanding of each party’s priorities and concerns, as well as where there may be room for compromise. My experience working across real estate, finance, and tax credits also allows me to see how the different pieces of a development transaction fit together. That perspective helps me anticipate issues, find practical solutions, and keep the parties focused on getting the deal done.

What advice or perspective would you share with women building their careers in commercial real estate?
I’ve learned the importance of approaching challenges with calm confidence. You need to be assertive and willing to tackle difficult issues head-on, but you can do that while remaining measured and composed. Maintaining that sense of confidence, particularly when a situation becomes challenging, allows you to hold your ground, focus on solutions, and keep things moving forward. I’ve found that a strong but steady approach is often the most effective one.

What professional accomplishment or experience are you especially proud of?
One professional accomplishment I am especially proud of is being recognized as a PBN 40 Under 40 honoree. The recognition was meaningful not only as a career milestone, but as a reflection of the relationships and experiences that have shaped me as a lawyer and professional. I am grateful for the mentors who have guided me, colleagues who have supported me, and clients and professionals who have trusted me to work alongside them. Their advice, example, and confidence have been instrumental in my growth and made this recognition especially meaningful.

What are you most excited about in your work or the commercial real estate industry right now?
The CRE industry is constantly evolving, which is one of the things I find most exciting about practicing in this space. Changing market conditions, development trends, and increasingly complex transactions continually present new challenges and opportunities. I look forward to continuing to learn and adapt alongside the industry while helping clients understand what those changes mean for their businesses and investments. Staying ahead of an evolving market and providing practical, thoughtful counsel that helps clients navigate what comes next is what keeps me excited about the future.

What has helped shape the way you approach your work and career?
I was drawn to commercial real estate by the intersection of business, strategy, and the built environment. It has shaped the way I approach my work: I value the complexity of each deal, the importance of collaboration, and the opportunity to find creative solutions for clients. I’m also energized by the industry’s constant evolution. No two deals are alike, and each brings new challenges, from changing markets to evolving client needs. That keeps me curious, adaptable, and always looking for what’s next.

What advice or perspective would you share with women building their careers in commercial real estate?
Build your expertise, trust yourself, and don’t be afraid to take up space. Early in my career, I learned that in order to be taken seriously as often the only woman – and the youngest – in the room, preparation and confidence were key. Knowing the details inside and out, asking thoughtful questions, and speaking up even when it feels uncomfortable builds credibility. Just as importantly, use your seat at the table to make room for others.

What are you most excited about in your work or the commercial real estate industry right now?
I’m excited by the ways commercial real estate is adapting to changing needs and expectations. Hybrid work continues to reshape office environments, while sustainability and energy efficiency are becoming increasingly important to owners, investors, and tenants. These shifts create opportunities to rethink how properties are designed, used, and developed. I’m particularly interested in helping clients navigate these changes and find practical, business-focused solutions as the industry continues to evolve.

What has helped shape the way you approach your work and career?
My early experiences in counseling and mental health work shaped the way I approach my career: with empathy, curiosity, and a focus on problem-solving. Those experiences taught me to listen carefully, understand different perspectives, and advocate for others—skills that translate naturally to my work as an attorney. Commercial real estate also requires the ability to navigate complex issues while keeping the bigger picture in mind. I’ve found that combining careful analysis with a practical, collaborative approach is essential to serving clients effectively.
