Submission AbstractFrom a young age, service to my community was a priority. Real estate was the most tangible way for me to accomplish this. At 16, I reached out to a top-producing agent and pursued a mentorship. This opened the door to conversations and experiences that further sparked my interest in real estate.
After a few years of college, I realized that I would be more effective if I gained hands-on experience rather than classroom learning. I decided to leave the university before graduation and dive headfirst into building my real estate practice. Throughout high school and college, I started multiple businesses, including a landscaping company and a marketing company. Building these two businesses provided far more insight, experience and knowledge than any classroom experience.
