TH E M REP O RT | 29 THIRTY-FIVE UNDER 35 Special Section Angela Kleine ASSOCIATE IN MORTGAGE AND FAIR LENDING, MORRISON & FOERSTER, LLP AGE: 34 With beginnings in Indiana working for her family's concrete con- tracting service, Angela always knew she wanted to be a lawyer. Working throughout her school- ing, she graduated from NYU and now serves on the Financial Services Litigation and Fair Lend- ing groups at Morrison & Foerster in California. Angela feels that joining the firm, which prides it- self on not having a "glass ceiling," was her breakout role in the legal profession, but also believes that the future of jobs and home- ownership is bright for all women, who are becom- ing heads of households and college grads more than ever before. Amanda Macaluso ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE, CAMPBELL LEWIS AGE: 22 A graduate of advertis- ing and public relations at Manhattan College, Amanda has been an account executive with Campbell Lewis since October 2013, working before then in various internships in the public relations and entertain- ment industries. At age 22, she's one of the young- est additions to MReport's 35 Under 35, but she sees her age as an asset. As a recent recruit, she brings a fresh perspective and new ideas to Campbell Lewis—like how to take advantage of social media, which is just one of her responsibilities. Stephanie Martyn VP, MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS, WINGSPAN AGE: 30 It was while selling medical uniforms that Stephanie Martyn decided upper management was for her, because, as she says, "it was where I needed to be and to go." She is unafraid of change and feels that embracing it was one of the factors that elevated her from being a Nordstrom sales associate to a Wingspan company VP. Stephanie maintains that life doesn't move in straight lines, but determining where one wants to go is the first step. She uses her skills today to organize branding events and charity fundraisers for Wingspan because, though change is good, being the change for someone else is better yet. Margaret Mooney DIRECTOR, THE COLLINGWOOD GROUP AGE: 26 Mooney got her start in the housing industry working as a college intern in the HIV/AIDS housing office of HUD. It was during that time that she saw that access to the American Dream is not equally granted to everyone. So, she's made it her life's mission to help society's most vulnerable by helping them find sustainable and enduring housing. This Villanova graduate is currently working with the nation's foremost thinkers in the industry at the Collingwood Group. There, she is able to interact with the most important people in the industry, and analyze the current housing finance economy to provide insight to their clients. Kristin Nakama MARKETING MANAGER, PEMCO AGE: 29 PEMCO once had a marketing team of only a single member: Kristin Nakama. She began as an intern and quickly rose to be marketing manager, expanding the company's presence onto the Web with a multimedia-laden site and weekly webcasts to educate agents and brokers on the REO in- dustry. Focus and passion for her work drive her, and she curates a dedi- cated team to ensure that agents know foreclosed homes can find new life during the nation's recovery. Nakama feels that her duty is to set not merely her best example, but the example that all other companies aspire to. "I feel like in the network of people I've had contact with, it has been women who have been able to make it, and they focus on their success and not what has held them back." —KRISTIN NAKAMA, PEMCO Angel Lynn ANGEL LYNN REALTY AGE: 30s In 21st-century America, no responsible member of society, Realtor or otherwise, can be content to exist in a vacuum of business," explains Angelica "Angel" Lynn.
