Summary

Real Estate and Recipes is the name of my game. I have spent my whole life juggling between my two passions. I am a loyal and long-term employee. I am able to independently work and follow instructions. I believe that teamwork really does make the dream work. You are only as good as your whole team. A positive working environment is very important to me. I like to have fun and laugh, while also being focused and getting the job done. I work well under pressure and can handle a fast paced environment without losing my cool. Years of customer service has taught me how to read people and has helped me establish long term relationships.
