I understand the time and effort required to properly train new college graduates.
My motivation to mentor students stems from recognizing a disconnect between their
education and the knowledge needed to thrive in real estate. I'm eager to help close
that gap.”

a better time to enter the field. Duquesne's Real Estate program gives students the
