The piece, published on April 20, 2026, spotlights Barber as a finalist for its Most Effective Deal-Makers award and discusses her recent deal work, including leading the successful disposition of Birkdale Village, a $274 million mixed-use transaction, and her broader approach to effective dealmaking and client service. 

In the interview, Barber emphasized the importance of strategic judgment and preparation in complex transactions, noting:
