Reviews

Intern

February 2023 - April 2023 Los Angeles, CA
“I liked how interns were paired with a mentor to whom we had access to ask questions and get to know further. The competitions were exciting and very motivational to try our best when creating and presenting our pitch deck.”

Program Manager

January 2022 New York City, NY
“I have had the privilege of working with Project Destined for the past 2 and a half years, starting as an intern and advancing to become a Program Manager, Relationship Manager, and Student Ambassador. During my time with Project Destined, I have had the opportunity to lead some amazing teams from companies such as Arbor Realty Trust, Citi Community Capital, Greystar, and DWS NY. I was also a part of numerous Bridge Programs offered by companies like Marcus & Millichap, Annaly, Greystar, Greystone.... Through these experiences, I have gained invaluable knowledge and developed my leadership and management skills. The program equipped us, students and program managers with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the real estate industry, while also fostering important soft skills such as teamwork, communication, and leadership.”
