What has been the most rewarding project or deal you’ve worked on in your career, and why? I can remember working on a $12,000 microloan for a daycare center and a multimillion-dollar shopping center refinance.

What drew you to commercial real estate, and what keeps you passionate? I’m drawn to commercial real estate because it blends visible, tangible impact with strategic problem-solving.
