What was your most interesting job before going into real estate?
Before transitioning to real estate, I worked as a senior accountant for a small construction company. That experience taught me different skills that I can use every day while guiding people through one of the most important financial decisions: buying a home.

Where did you grow up?
I grew up in the Dominican Republic and moved to the U.S. at 19 years old looking for more opportunities.

Growing up, what did you want to be?
Growing up, I always wanted to build a successful career where I could help the Hispanic community. While I didn’t know I would end up in real estate, I have always been passionate about working with people, solving problems and creating opportunities for others.

What do you do to relax when you’re stressed?
I like to spend time with my family, especially with my daughter. I also enjoyvworking out and going for walks.

If you could meet any well-known figure (living or not), who would it be and why?
I would meet Oprah Winfrey. Her journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of the most influential women in the world is really inspiring. I admire her leadership and commitment to helping others succeed.

What do you love most about the industry?
The opportunity to help people build wealth and create opportunities for their families. For the first time, I am not only building my future, but I am helping other build their too.

How do you distinguish yourself from the crowd of agents?
Education, honesty and genuine care for my clients. As a first-generation immigrant, I understand the challenges many families face when pursuing home ownership. I like to take the time to explain the process, answer questions and make sure they feel comfortable every step of the way.

What’s your best advice for generating new leads?
Focus on building relationships first, not chasing trasactions.

What has been your greatest accomplishment?
Becoming a homeowner, a mother and now helping other families achieve homeownership are my greatest accomplishments.

What’s your favorite meal in Boston?
I love a good seafood dinner in Boston!

What is your favorite vacation spot and why?
The Dominican Republic will always be my favorite spot to go on vacation. It’s where I grew up, and I love being able to reconnect with family and old friends.

In 10 words or less, what is your advice for someone new to the industry?
Build relationships, be consistent and never stop learning.
