I'm honored to have worked with CREW Network to write its newly released white paper, "Achieving Pay Parity in Real Estate," a look into how commercial real estate can close the 23.3% pay gap between men and women. The paper can be downloaded at

CREW Network - Achieving Pay Parity in Commercial Real Estate CREW Network’s 2015 Benchmark Study Report: Women in Commercial Real Estate found a 23.3% gender pay gap among industry professionals. The gap begins to widen at mid-career and increases to nearly 30% in the C-suite.

Happy New Year! I have returned from maternity leave on a limited basis. Currently, I'm taking on copywriting and editing assignments that do not require phone interviews or in-person meetings/coverage. My turnaround time for most assignments is two to three days.

For assignments that require interviews or in-person meetings/coverage, I'm happy to suggest other experienced writers. I look forward to the opportunity to work together again!

I am out of the office on maternity leave until the end of the year and will not be on Facebook during my absence. However, I will be periodically checking email ([email protected]) and voice mail (631-355-2318) until September 8. Any messages received after that date may not be answered until January. I look forward to reconnecting upon my return!

Thank you to CBRE and Kushner Companies for the tour of Dumbo Heights today! The weather was perfect for a rooftop visit (although slightly "The Seven Year Itch"-ish... probably shouldn't have worn a dress). Check out some more views in tomorrow's Bisnow Brooklyn newsletter!
