Christina Auer

Christina is an international exchange student from IRE|BS (International Real Estate Business School) in Regensburg, Germany, where she is pursuing her Master of Science in Real Estate with a focus on Real Estate Investment and Financing as well as Real Estate Development and Management. Prior to her graduate studies, she completed her bachelor´s degree in Economics with a focus on Auditing and Taxation.

Throughout her studies, she has always tried to combine academic knowledge with practical experience. During her internships at KPMG in Audit and Forensic, she was able to gain experience in financial analysis, reviewing complex information and developing a structured way of working. More recently, she did an Internship in Property Management at FDS, where she was involved in tenant communication, rental processes, apartment handovers and the first leasing of student housing projects using Starrez. This job gave her the opportunity to take on responsibility and adapt quickly to new and challenging situations. It also deepened her interest in the operational side of real estate.

She is curious, enjoys learning new things and likes taking initiative. Studying at the University of Washington gives her the opportunity to challenge herself in a new academic environment, gain a better understanding of the U.S. real estate market and broaden her perspective through an international experience.
