Advocate and marketer to the senior living, active adult and multi-family markets with 15 years experience within the architecture, engineering and construction industry. I recently received an invitation to join the Lifestyle Residential Development council as a full member. I have been involved with the ULI Philadelphia district council for 8 years. Formerly an Advisory Board member, I started on the Young Leaders Council and moved up to co-chair. I am currently an active member of the ULI Next Council and Housing Council. During my time as co-chair of Young Leaders, we consistently retained and recruited new members and sponsors, while obtaining local guest speakers and delivering exceptional programming for the entire district council. In addition, when the ULI Spring Meeting was in Philadelphia in April 2016, I served on the Host Committee and most recently participated on the 2017-22 Strategic Planning Committee. I've also attended the 2017 ULI Fall Meeting in LA as a guest of the senior housing product council and the 2018 and 2019 ULI Fall Meetings as a guest of the Lifestyle Residential Development council. I am a Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM).
