I am the Director of Investment Management at Catal Capital, a real estate debt fund under the Catal Group family office focused on construction and bridge financing in the middle market across all asset classes within the top 30 U.S. markets. As we work toward closing Fund I, my ever-evolving role centers on what I love most – building and nurturing relationships, from third-party partners to our investors as well as daily asset management.
A Georgia native at heart, I always had my sights set on New York, and after an unexpected layoff from my first role following graduate school, I packed up and headed north. It turned out to be the best decision I ever made. I spent the early part of my career working in fitness and hospitality before finding my way into real estate in 2014 at MIT National, a national title insurance agency that was acquired by Newmark in 2018. After more than a decade in operations and business development at Newmark Title, I made an intentional move to the finance side of the industry, joining Catal Capital in 2025.
CREFC has played a meaningful role in that transition – not only to expand my network, but as a genuine resource for deepening my understanding of CRE finance as someone who made a significant pivot later in her career. The Women's Network Symposium has become one of my favorite industry events. Fun Fact – at the 2024 Women’s Symposium, I met a connection that ultimately led me to my role at Catal Capital!
Fun Facts About Me:
• Favorite book: Rules of Civility by Amor Towles – I gave it a little hug after I finished it.
• Favorite vacation destination: I recently returned from two weeks traveling around Kenya, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. From the animal sightings to the welcoming locals to the power of the rushing water at Victoria Falls, it was the most life changing experience!
• Most recently binge watched… Apple’s Widow’s Bay – it is filled with both jump scares and laughs.
