From Survival to Success
I live and breathe real estate. I’ve put in a lot of hard work and sacrificed so much to get where I am because I know how rare this opportunity is at such a young age. I’m determined to build a future for myself and my family that no one in my family has ever had before. Because I am a first-generation child of immigrants, it’s my responsibility to show them what generational wealth really looks like.
Growing up, my mom worked really hard as a single parent to provide for my sister and me. I saw firsthand how tough it was for her. After graduating from high school in 2014, I took on three jobs to help support my family, one of which was working part-time as an unlicensed real estate assistant to a top producer on Long Island. My boss saw something in me and pushed me to get my real estate license, which I did at 19. That was the turning point—I fell in love with real estate and decided to leave my other jobs to focus on it full time. I’ll always be grateful to my first boss for giving me the chance to build a future I never even imagined. Real estate truly changed my life. Growing up, I only knew how to survive, but through real estate and the amazing people I’ve met along the way, I’ve learned how to build wealth and thrive, which has been life-changing in ways I could never have predicted.
