Heidy Barreiro earned her BSBA from Suffolk University, with a concentration in Business Finance. She started her professional career in the banking and financial services industries working with both Bank of America and Cambridge Trust Co. Heidy's passion for real estate soon found her leaving the corporate world, to pursue a career in multifamily investing and development.
