About Me.

In that last 10 years, I’ve accomplished all the goals I’ve set my mind and heart to.  As a university student, I excelled in leadership by presiding over multiple organizations, achieved the ability to converse in Japanese and Korean, and earned over $40,000 in scholarships to fund my dream to study abroad in another country.

​

In my 6 years of exploring the real estate industry, I have successfully acquired and ran my own long distance short term rental as a real estate investor, helped hundreds of individuals, couples, and families make one of the biggest decisions of their lives as a real estate agent, and sold over $45,000,000 in real estate properties.

 

For 3 years as a Sushi Franchise Owner, I have saved my employees hundreds of hours through the systemization of the business’s daily tasks, increased the business’s profit margin by building a network of supply vendors, and more than doubled our revenue in the 4 franchise locations that I managed.
