April (Pederson) Tschappat ’97

April has some news to share with you all!

I recently joined Macerich, an industry leading publically traded REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), overseeing the Leasing of a dozen Super Regional shopping centers nationwide.  My new position, Assistant Vice President of Leasing Development, will be relocating us to Dallas, TX.  I’ve been involved in the publically traded shopping center industry leasing for 8 years, with 5 years of experience prior to that in Costa Mesa, CA, working Community Relations events for South Coast Plaza, a world renowned privately owned shopping center.

I’m thrilled for the new position.  I’ll be moving to Dallas with my husband of 9.5 years and my two daughters, Lillian (9) and Hannah (7).

Congratulations to April and her family!
