Irene is an Assistant Vice President in the Real Estate Securitization and Capital Markets group at Wells Fargo Bank in New York City. Since joining the team in 2019, she has focused on the legal and closing aspects of commercial real estate transactions, working closely with institutional clients, external counsel, and internal partners to facilitate due diligence and the onboarding of high-value loans for distribution in the Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) market.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics with a double major in Politics and Philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh in 2017 and completed her MBA at Eastern University in 2024. Her capstone project, which proposed a model for transforming underutilized office space into affordable housing inspired by the shifting dynamics of commercial real estate during the COVID-19 pandemic, earned the Capstone Project Award and the honor of serving as the graduate commencement speaker.
Outside of work, Irene serves as Vice President of the Church Council at Grace Lutheran Church in Drexel Hill, PA, and as the elected young adult representative to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod Council since May 2025. She also enjoys traveling, running, reading, and spending time with her family and friends.
