Since second grade, Wanda Goodloe knew she wanted to be an attorney-partly to counter her overachieving older sister, now a pediatrician, and also to emulate her grandmother, who earned a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University.
But it wasn't until after she graduated from Harvard Law School that she chose to specialize in real estate development and construction law. ''I could see myself doing deals,'' she says.
She's one of a handful of attorneys in the city who is expert in legal matters involving building design, construction and leasing. In her seven years at the prestigious international law firm of Jones Day Reavis & Pogue, she has handled more than 900 projects and has represented almost every major developer in New York City.
In her newest role, she's applying her expertise to Harlem as Gov. George Pataki's appointee to chair the Harlem Community Development Corp. She envisions the agency taking a lead in real estate planning and development to revitalize the community and support the area's federal empowerment zone.
Though she lives in New Jersey with her husband, Ms. Goodloe has made a personal commitment to Harlem, where she owns a condominium and has other personal ties.
''As a black woman, I feel a natural affinity for the community,'' she says. ''I'm very excited about the challenge of reshaping and restructuring to attract new business and create new jobs.''
