I began my career in IT sales and then added endeavors in the real estate business with ten years of diversified experience. I have expertise in business sales, strategy, marketing, property management, real estate investment strategy, leasing, property rehabilitation, foreclosures, short sales and financial analysis.
I have proven to be an excellent team member and leader in marketing, sales, real estate projects and other business ventures. My objectives include the opportunity to collaborate, contribute, learn and grow in future endeavors and partnerships. I have a passion for real estate and architecture and am excited to work for a company in that industry.
