I am interested in real estate because it combines my passion for finance, investment strategy, and property development. With a concentration in real estate finance and a minor in real property development, I am eager to explore how market trends, property management, and investment decisions shape communities and create long-term wealth. I see real estate as an opportunity to leverage my analytical skills and business knowledge to make strategic investments, optimize property value, and contribute to sustainable development. My goal is to build a career in property management, leasing, acquisitions, and real estate sales, ultimately positioning myself for long-term success in the industry.

CM 475 Group Project
Spring Quarter 2025
For this class project, my team was tasked with creating a development plan modeled after the Bank of America low income affordable housing case but my group chose to focus on a commercial property instead. I led the financial side of the project which meant building detailed pro formas and running the numbers that drive the investment story. I handled land acquisition costs construction budgets operating expenses financing terms rent assumptions and projected cash flows. I created multi year income statements balance sheets and cash flow projections to test different scenarios and make sure our deal penciled out. I also presented our financial package to the class and answered questions on sensitivity analysis and return metrics like IRR and NPV to show how the project would perform under different market conditions.
Not only was this a great opportunity, this also taught me the importance of having accurate financials when looking at a deal, but also how to make a pro forma from scratch.
