CBRE — Healthcare Real Estate, San Diego

CBRE's healthcare practice sits at the intersection of real estate and medicine — and it moves differently than any other asset class. I work alongside a team that advises physician groups, surgery centers, diagnostic providers, and health systems on their real estate decisions across the San Diego market. My work spans agency leasing, tenant representation, and investment sales for medical office buildings.

 

Key contributions:

Supporting active agency leasing assignments for medical office buildings across San Diego County; Assisting with tenant representation for healthcare provider clients including physician groups and outpatient facilities; Building AI-powered market intelligence tools to support the team's research and prospecting workflows; Researching market conditions, absorption trends, and healthcare tenant demand drivers in the San Diego submarket.

MIPIM 2026

In March 2026, I attended MIPIM in Cannes, France — one of the world's largest commercial real estate conferences — as a student journalist representing the University of San Diego.

Over four days, I reported from sessions attended by 20,000+ professionals across global real estate, covering AI's impact on the industry, institutional investment trends, and what bifurcation across capital markets means for the next generation of professionals.

I wrote and published three articles from the conference, interviewing speakers including Josh Panknin from Columbia University and Shawn Lese of Nuveen. The experience changed how I think about my own career — and confirmed that the most valuable professionals in this industry will be the ones who can hold both worlds at once: deep real estate fundamentals and genuine technological fluency.

VP — Women in Business: Managing club operations and a team of five. Responsible for event coordination, speaker agreements, budget, and professional outreach.

VP of Research & Outcomes — Real Estate Society: Post-event surveys, speaker outreach, member engagement reporting, and thank-you correspondence for a club of real estate-focused students.

AI

Alongside my work, I've been developing AI-powered automation tools designed specifically for commercial real estate teams. My current focus has been on the CBRE healthcare practice — building tools that reduce research time, surface market intelligence faster, and allow the team to focus on relationships and deals rather than manual information gathering.
