I absolutely being a part of the construction process beginning to end!________________________________________________________________________________________________________________My biggest pleasure in my Commercial Real Estate Career is making connections. Yes, I love the dive into the research and organization, and my creativity is sparked in presenting and sharing valuable information, but it is the relationships that truly bring me joy. I love facilitating business relationships to help people maximize their market purpose and reach their goals. Prior to my Commercial Real Estate Career, I devoted my life to the education of middle school and high school students as an English teacher. The skills obtained over my 16 year career allow me a unique perspective. I indulge in research and fine-tuning presentations for marketing properties and services. My years of negotiating with and relating to every personality type lead me to the solid conclusion: I absolutely love people! While not patient, I am tolerant and blessed with persistence. I believe in seeing it through from beginning to end and walking with the customer through their entire process. Buying, selling, and leasing real estate renews enthusiasm in me daily and brings me joy as a business woman in my new role.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Accomplished and effective English instructor with Masters of Ed. +30 and 15 years of diverse experience in New York City, Pennsylvania, and Florida at the secondary and adult education levels.
