Hillside

Summary

I have been involved with customer service since my very first job at the age of 17. Not only did I get to experience the difference in serving our fellow Hillside residents, I have learned how to communicate politely, patiently, courteous, and caring to each individual throughout all of my professions. Through my housecleaning business I have met and still am serving families for over 10 years to which they are also very well known in the medical industry and entrepreneurship field. The Real Estate field has also exposed me to many interesting personalities, some to which I needed to exercise wisdom and caution due to the sensitive matter at hand. I have been able to interwoven my cleaning business into Real Estate through trust and networking with other professionals in the field.
