I look forward to fully utilizing JLL’s technologies and platform to help my clients as they rethink their portfolios and workplace strategy in a changing world.”
Nakamura graduated from Lehigh University and has received multiple industry awards and recognitions throughout her career from outlets and organizations such as the Mid Atlantic Real Estate Journal, Real Estate Forum, NAIOP New Jersey and CoStar, the news release said.
