Before joining ZoneCo in 2020, Jocelyn worked for a zoning consulting firm and, before that, at the global real estate firm CBRE, where she was a strategist for global real estate portfolios, developing client strategies on locational decisions, workspace optimization, and property consolidation, and advising on zoning and land use.
