CIPS
In August 2022, I attained my CIPS designation, aiming to leverage this credential to enhance my business prospects, particularly with international clientele in Naples, FL. Given the region's allure to many foreign visitors who often invest in secondary residences here, I sought to strategically utilize this designation to expand my reach and better cater to the unique needs of a diverse global market.
