Experience in multifamily portfolio reporting, acquisitions, and capital markets. Most recently at Rexford Industrial, I built Python data pipelines and automation tools for a 409-property portfolio. USC B.S. in Real Estate Development, 2026.

Professional Experience

Technology Intern, AI & Automation

Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (NYSE: REXR)
Los Angeles, CA
Jun 2026 – Aug 2026
  • Built Python pipelines that screened 1,600+ source workbooks for data validity and consolidated the 269 qualifying underwriting workbooks and 193 capital approval records into a single reporting database covering a 409-property, 49.9M SF industrial portfolio
  • Built reporting comparing underwritten assumptions against approved capital plans for portfolio-level variance analysis, with validation and reconciliation checks that make every figure traceable to its source
  • Developed canonical, deterministic mapping tools that encoded real estate terminology into field-matching rules, standardizing inconsistently named asset management, construction, and project data for Power BI dashboards saving each analyst 3 to 5 hours a week

Portfolio Analyst Intern

MRK Partners
Los Angeles, CA
Oct 2024 – May 2025
  • Built the models behind monthly portfolio reporting for a 25-asset multifamily portfolio, including variance analysis of actuals against budget
  • Recoded property T12s into the firm’s standardized portfolio chart of accounts so results were comparable across all 25 assets
  • Standardized historical utility data across the 25-asset portfolio, separating usage from cost in each property’s utility expense and flagging anomalies against the property’s own history so the portfolio team could catch leakage and deferred maintenance sooner
