Hemal Patel's Linkedin Analytics

3½ years ago, I left the University of Wisconsin-Madison, no longer able to pursue a path that didn't fuel my passion. I returned to my roots: hotels, a cornerstone of my childhood. At four, my life revolved around the family-run motel in Iowa; we lived there, and I immersed myself in its operation. This upbringing taught me the hospitality industry's intricacies and the value of stellar customer service. Fast-forward, and the former biology student pivoted to economics, joining a commercial real estate firm, taking my childhood pastime from nostalgia to career. In under two years, without formal education in the field, I landed a Senior Analyst role - proof that passion, knowledge, and experience are formidable assets. Now, I’m committed to sharing what I’ve learned and helping others learn about this powerful asset class. If commercial real estate, hotels, and hospitality pique your interest, follow my content for weekly insights and career boosters. -Hemal
