What impact has social media/networking had on your career? Through the use of email marketing, I have strived to constantly stay in front of my clients. Being that we now live in a digital world, with email being the primary source of professional communication, I have found that this method has remained the most conve- nient and continual form of net- working by being able to stay in touch with existing customers and market our services and properties that we list.

My father, who has owned and operated several small businesses throughout his career. With his knowledge of running a few different types of companies, he was able to mentor me as I worked side by side with him. Because I was working with my dad, I didn’t feel uncomfortable with my early lack of experience. He always reminded me that business is mostly “people
