My Journey so Far…

When I fell into capital raising at 21, I had no idea what I was doing. But what I did know…I love connecting people. Traveling and embracing different cultures. Talking to fascinating humans and hearing their stories. Turns out? That love of culture and travel would become the foundation of my career.

Quickly my Middle Eastern/ Italian background, my Kuwait and US upbringing, and the time I spent living in the UK proved to be a superpower in the global real estate private equity space. So I leaned in. Since my debut, I’ve raised over $500 million+ in equity for various insitutions and platforms within the real assets sector. And my favorite part – I’ve built a community of wonderful friendships and trusted relationships with investors across the globe, particularly in the Middle East, US, and SE Asia.
