What has helped shape the way you approach your work and career?
Throughout my career, the greatest lessons have come from the people I’ve worked with, each bringing different strengths, perspectives, and approaches that have shaped the way I work today. I’ve learned the importance of seeing situations through the lens of others, whether colleagues or clients. Everyone has different priorities, challenges, and goals, but we are all working toward a common objective. Understanding those perspectives leads to stronger collaboration, better decision-making, and ultimately better results. Success is built on relationships, and maintaining a positive attitude, showing appreciation for those around you, and treating people with respect are just as important as any professional accomplishment.

What advice or perspective would you share with women building their careers in commercial real estate?
Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and build connections. Commercial real estate is a relationship-driven industry, and some of the best opportunities come from networking, asking questions, and being willing to try something new. Trust your abilities, stay curious, and be open to learning from everyone around you. Confidence grows with experience, and every challenge is an opportunity to develop new skills and expand your career. 

What are you most excited about in your work or the commercial real estate industry right now?
What excites me most right now is the opportunity to reposition and enhance retail assets in ways that create long-term value for both ownership and the communities they serve. Consumer needs continue to evolve, and it’s exciting to see properties adapt through thoughtful leasing, redevelopment, and placemaking strategies. As an asset manager, I enjoy working with my team across disciplines to identify opportunities, solve challenges, and help shape the future of our portfolio. Seeing a property reach its full potential and thrive over time is incredibly rewarding.

What professional accomplishment or experience are you especially proud of?
I’m especially proud to have been at Wilder for over 10 years. During that time, I have been fortunate to work with very knowledgeable and dependable people, and create strong working relationships. Lease Administration plays a critical role in supporting property management, leasing, development, and accounting and I take pride in knowing that my attention to detail and accuracy helps with every department to ensure our information is correct and reliable.

What professional accomplishment or experience are you especially proud of?
One of the accomplishments I’m most proud of is helping transform retail properties into vibrant community destinations. I’ve developed marketing strategies that drive engagement, strengthen tenant performance, and enhance the customer experience. From building the marketing program at Arsenal Yards, with events like Stick a Fork In It and Fall Festival becoming community staples, to bringing those learnings to The Link in Walpole, The Mix in Porter Square, Freeport Village Station, and Wakefield Commons. It’s rewarding to see creative ideas translate into measurable results.

What are you most excited about in your work or the commercial real estate industry right now?
I’m excited by the opportunity to re-imagine and enhance properties to meet the evolving needs of today’s consumers and communities. Whether through redevelopment, repositioning assets, or integrating new uses into existing properties, there is tremendous potential to create vibrant destinations that remain relevant for years to come. Being part of that transformation and helping shape the future of our portfolio is what I find most rewarding.

What has helped shape the way you approach your work and career?
The relationships I’ve built throughout my career have had the biggest influence on how I approach my work. Commercial real estate is ultimately a people business, and I’ve learned that trust, communication, and follow-through are just as important as finding the right deal. Working through different market conditions has also taught me the value of being adaptable, staying patient, and always focusing on long-term success rather than short-term wins.

What advice or perspective would you share with women building their careers in commercial real estate?
My advice to women building their careers in commercial real estate is to trust the value of your unique perspective and never stop learning. Stay curious, build authentic relationships, and be open to opportunities that may not look like the path you originally envisioned. Speak up with confidence, take on new challenges, and don’t be afraid to stretch beyond your comfort zone. Growth often happens when you embrace the unfamiliar and say yes to opportunities that push you forward.
