I learned at a young age that ambition is nothing without a strong work ethic to back it up. My father immigrated to the United States by himself as a teenager to create a better life himself and his family back in Haiti. He provided for his family through his strong work ethic, dedication, and tenacious ambition. He was able to build a successful insurance/tax agency and procure investment properties. He inspired me to create a better life for my family and myself.

I started my marketing and sales career working and organizing philanthropy events with individuals such as a Mario Lopez and Jimbo Fisher (Former FSU Coach). I worked in the radio industry with iHeart Radio. There I gained experience handling B2B accounts and was later promoted to the creative writing department. I gained experience with VO (Voice Over). After college, I worked with the Department of Children and Families as the Security and Background Specialist. The following three years, I managed and trained individuals at multiple health clubs around the Tallahassee area. At last, I realized my passion for marketing and sales. I love that marketing provides a fun, team-oriented, and interactive working environment. I was looking for an opportunity like this. I heard of this industry before, and I've always been an entrepreneur so to see this growth structure and the clients list made it exciting.

The biggest obstacle I faced was trying to juggle two projects at once. The lesson I learned is you need to put all your eggs into one basket and put all of your focus into being successful, one project at a time. My advice for new people starting is to toss all doubts aside, go to success stories. Listen to people who are doing what you want to do. For example, if your goal is to be a baker then listen to the best baker you can find. Don't go to the butcher.

I'm proud of the phenomenal reps that have been making impacts in my office. The best is yet to come. I am looking forward to more proud moments and team promotions. My biggest goal is to expand Jacksonville with every client we have to offer in the area and build an apartment complex on some existing land I own.
