Summary

I have over 20 years of customer service experience and communication experience and strive when it comes to helping people. I have always had a love for Real Estate, Architecture and Interior Design. I have an overwhelming interest in building wealth through real estate and will stop at nothing to achieve my goals. I've sat through countless hours of webinars by industry experts to learn different methods of REI and have spent countless hours volunteering my time to research and assist others in finding investment opportunities of different markets. I strive in team environments but also work very well independently and am a fast learner. I am dependable and reliable in completing any tasks I am given efficiently. I have excellent written and verbal skills and at heart I am a "people" person and deliver excellent customer service and problem solving skills.
