At Meritage Homes, I develop and analyze financial models for residential land deals. I underwrote a $25M land deal that corporate approved and that closed in May 2025.

I also research new home sales and land transactions to support pricing strategies, and prepare investment packages for senior leadership. At Toll Brothers, I managed operational budgets, analyzed NRI and NOI, and helped maintain occupancy above 95%.
