What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovative problem-solving in real estate finance.

I am a dedicated financial analyst with extensive experience in real estate investment and analytics. Currently, I lead a team at Cushman & Wakefield, where I create complex Argus and Excel models to support investment sales across various property types. My role involves collaborating closely with brokerage teams to strategize pitches and enhance marketing materials, ensuring our clients receive top-notch service and insights.

Previously, I served as a Real Estate Analyst and Associate Product Manager at Rabbu, where I successfully developed a product roadmap for a short-term rental data tool that attracted over 50,000 unique users. My analytical skills were further honed during my tenure at Goldman Sachs, where I underwrote over $4 billion in commercial real estate transactions. My ability to synthesize data and present it effectively has been key to my success in driving investment opportunities and securing funding.
