On Being a Female MSRE Student

White: “The BMC program does a good job of encouraging everyone to participate and giving everyone the same opportunities—females and males.”

SAN DIEGO—With only one other female student in this year’s MSRE program at the Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate at the University of San Diego’s School of Business, Karamarie White is often approached by her classmates to give the “woman’s perspective,” she tells GlobeSt.com. White was most recently an associate in analytics and insights with Golin in Dallas, but left in August and worked remotely for a month before becoming a full-time student at the BMC with an internship in the morning and classes beginning at 4 p.m. She has a BBA in Marketing from Southern Methodist University.

White’s academic goals are to aim for high grades and learning about real estate. She says her professional goals are “to have my own development business. I am so new, but that’s my thought as of now for what I want to do. My dad is an architect and has his own firm, and seeing him have that entrepreneurial spirit, I always wanted to be my own boss and have my own business. I think I will like development because originally I wanted to be an architect, but I’m good in math and like to do different things. I don’t want to do same things every day.”
