What honor, achievement or recognition means the most to you and why? Starting my own business is one of the best and hardest things I have done. It has enabled me to mentor other female investors, support women who are purchasing their first investment property, and support families with clean, safe, and affordable housing. It is a culmination of my experience and takes grit, determination, relationships, partnerships and collaboration to succeed. 

What recent project or transaction are you most proud of? My proudest project is the multi-million dollar new development in South Boston that we just completed. I am passionate about encouraging and teaching women to invest because strategic investing has the potential to create transformational, generational change.
