My current assignment is to create a five-year occupancy cost forecast for the Goldman Sachs real estate portfolio. This project forces our team to look at the underlying lease terms, utilities and real estate taxes for each property. I enjoy the opportunity to be able to think creatively and to have a role in designing a new model that will best lend itself to an accurate prediction of future costs.

The most challenging aspect of my current job is working with a global team that combines different personalities and cultures, and developing an effective communication technique.

It is rewarding to be integrated into a global team and to have projects that allow me to take different perspectives, even with similar problems. I enjoy working on a small team that manages the global real estate portfolio because it allows me to learn about many aspects of corporate real estate.
