My background is in Paralegal and Fund operations work in capital markets. I started out at a non-profit where I created a community fund and engaged the community to invest in affordable housing projects on the south side of Chicago. Next, I matriculated into an international law firm where I worked on the legal side of Real estate PE and restructuring work. At this point, I realized that business was my interest and not law. So I obtained a job at a RE PE firm where I led a team of executives through the acquisition phase. I also presented in front of investors which led to the team raising significant capital for further deals. I need the MBA because I'm trying to pivot to RE Investment Banking. My long-term goal is to go back to Real Estate Private Equity in a senior position.
