What led you to real estate and construction?

Real estate, particularly in the GTA, is a nuanced and growing industry that shapes the communities around us. It’s rewarding to work with business owners who are building the communities where we live and work. I am grateful to participate in this process by helping these businesses manage their risks, realize their goals and proactively plan for the future.

What is your favourite part of your job?

I love that I get to work with a diverse group of clients from homebuilders, land developers, and condominium developers, to commercial and multi-residential property owners but my favourite part of my job is becoming a key member of my client’s team, as this requires building trust and delivering consistent value and solutions. I want to know my client’s compliance and strategic needs are met so they can focus on what’s important.

What are the key lessons from COVID-19 for business owners?

Business owners have certainly been reminded of the relevance of considering the impossible and knowing your core business priorities. The pandemic has forced many business leaders to rethink their strategies and refine their focus.  How companies adapt to the demand for flexibility in the workplace will be a key priority going forward.
