Just over 100 days ago, I joined JLL's Atlanta industrial brokerage team as senior managing director. At the time, COVID-19 was at its peak, and everyone was trying to adapt to a new reality – both personally and professionally. While the pandemic caused many facets of commercial real estate to pause or constrict, the industrial sector has continued to surge ahead.

This momentum has kept our team busier than ever as we support our clients by finding the logistics and warehousing solutions needed to meet their customers' demands. We've been working incredibly hard, and I'm especially proud that our entire team transitioned back to working at the office five months ago, giving us the invaluable opportunity to safely collaborate and drive our business forward.

I've spent 18 years working in commercial real estate, but this year has been by far the most challenging and rewarding. From supporting our clients through an uncertain business landscape to expanding our team and continuing to cultivate a culture of learning, I'm looking back on my first 100 days with JLL to acknowledge a few of the many things we accomplished.
