I have over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, with the last 10 years dedicated to the HOA field, starting as a Resident Event Coordinator for a luxury high-rise in Marina del Rey, where I discovered my passion for community management.

I also hold industry accreditation with CAI as a Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA), Association Management Specialist (AMS), and I am currently working toward my Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM).
