Commercial Real Estate Analyst
Transforming complex real estate data into strategic investment insights at Greystar.
Get in TouchBackground
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I grew up surrounded by Oregon's natural beauty, developing a strong appreciation for both the outdoors and strategic thinking early on.
I pursued my passion for business and finance at Brigham Young University's Marriott School of Business, earning a Bachelor's degree in Finance in 2024. Through internships across private credit, wealth management, and real estate acquisitions, I built a deep understanding of investment strategy across asset classes.
Today, as an Investments Analyst at Greystar — one of the world's largest real estate investment and management firms — I leverage data-driven insights to evaluate acquisitions opportunities and support strategic decision-making across diverse real estate portfolios.
