Joining Hiffman – Katherine Michalak

Interest in property management can come from anywhere – especially from the seeing CRE pros in action!

Katherine Michalak worked as a manager for retail stores until 2019, when she got her start in CRE as an admin assistant. In 2023, she joined Hiffman as a property manager thanks to a recommendation from a friend, and we’re so glad she wanted to see what the other side of the industry was like!

We’re on the search for more aspiring CRE pros like Katherine.
