“I came to business school to gain a financial foundation, something I knew was integral to my future growth and success in the commercial real estate industry. I had not given much thought to the soft-skill classes I would take, but I can say now that I am so grateful for what I learned in each of those classes, and I recognize them as equally valuable to my future career growth.”

Prior to Darden: transaction manager, global corporate services, CBRE First Year internship: summer associate, Beacon Capital Partners Postgraduate career: associate, PGIM “Real estate does not follow the traditional consulting and investment banking on-campus recruitment cycles. While applying to business school, I was keenly aware of this given my career goals. However, I ultimately chose Darden due to its deep alumni pool working in the real estate industry. It was this highly responsive and engaged alumni community that ultimately enabled me to understand that my career goals best aligned with the real estate investment space and to source internship and full-time employment opportunities.”
