Hands down, my best friend and now business partner, Javier. He’s the one who pushed me to get my real estate license, and I’ll be forever grateful for that. From the start, we’ve both been crazy enough and hungry enough to dive into the investing side of real estate together. We learn from each other every single day, and we’re constantly pushing the boundaries. Read more>>

When I was in middle school I had a wonderful theatre teacher. I was one of the few students that began drawing costumes that I visualized for the school plays. Every theatre project she gave the class I jumped in eagerly believing that I had a certain talent and vision. Read more>>
