What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute much of my success to my parents and my family. Without their strength, determination, and sacrifice, I would not have had the opportunities I’ve been given.
My mother had me at just 19 years old. Despite the challenges that came with that, she returned to school, earned her degree, and worked relentlessly to build a life for herself. She later went on to earn her MBA and became an exceptionally successful businesswoman in her own right. Watching her persevere and break through the glass ceiling was a profound inspiration for me.
Congruently, my father left the Marine Corps when I was born so he could be present in my life. He instilled in me the core values of hard work, determination, and grit. He worked his way up from being a mechanic to serving multiple State Senators and Assemblymembers, and today leads facilities operations for a branch of a multi-billion-dollar biotech company.
Together, my parents showed me that persistence, discipline, and hard work can open any door.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I have ever received is "not everything is an emergency". When I was first starting out in my career, every little bump, hiccup or problem was at a level 10 in my head. Everything was an emergency. Everything needed to be solved. And it needed to be solved NOW.
What I thought was helping, was actually hindering - not only the problem - but also my mental health.
I have learned that even some of the worst problems are best solved with a calm demeanor, after having time to process and think through the different options. Especially in a line of work where there are very few true emergencies, it was extremely beneficial for me to learn to take a step back, think about the options, then go in and solve it.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My best advice for young women entering Real Estate, or truthfully any industry, is to find your niche, and find what you are passionate about. I spent a lot of my youth trying to mold what I wanted to do based off of my perception of "success" or what would make the most money. But quickly I learned that you will find much more genuine success (and the money comes with that!), by finding your true passions, cultivating that, and excelling in your niche. Don't get bogged down in the process, sometimes when it feels like you aren't moving forward, is when the biggest leap is coming.
