Before joining FCP, managed a portfolio of 20 assets valued at $1.8 billion for The Carlyle Group.<\/p>\n<p><i>Best Advice Received:<\/i> Ed Mathias, managing director of The Carlyle Group, had the office next door to her. He encouraged her to stick to what she was passionate about and never settle.

The law gives residents the right to purchase an asset if it\u2019s placed on the market. \u201cIt can cause a lot of problems when your team knows that you\u2019re about to exit and you have to keep the folks on site happy, keep the place occupied and keep NOI up, as well as continuing to work on the transaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Advice to Others:<\/i> \u201cIf you work hard and surround yourself with those that you aspire to be, you\u2019ll get to where you need to be.
