What is your role at Avison Young?
Research Coordinator & Financial Analyst.
How did you get into commercial real estate?
While in college, I had friends who had graduated and gone into commercial real estate that all seemed to really like it. Friends in other industries were not as passionate about what they did, but the commercial real estate friends always seemed to be very passionate about it.
Share an example of a time you delivered economic, social and environmental value to your clients, colleagues or community?
I volunteered at the Salvation Army shelter hosting birthday parties for the children living there. I had hosted children's birthday parties for work during high school, so I knew how to make a birthday party special!

I can make a true difference in my community with the work I do every day. I improve the lives of our clients, and our communities by always offering to help wherever possible.
