Tanya Austin, project manager of project and development services at JLL

Tanya Austin, project manager of project and development services at JLL, specializes in hotel renovations, adaptive re-use, and tenant improvement projects. Her role involves the development of scope, coordination of all project activities including budget and schedule management, bidding and negotiation, construction management, reporting and oversight of FF&E procurement. As a kid, young Austin was quite ambitious.

“As early as I can remember, I wanted to do three things; be a doctor, specifically an Obstetrician like my god-sister, a race car driver and a successful business woman. As a kid, I was always fascinated with doctor shows, like ER, and always got excited when I got to go to the hospital and chat with doctors and nurses. I was never afraid of needles or giving blood or anything like that so my parents always thought I would make a good doctor since I had no fear in that regard.”
