What challenges have you faced in your career, and how did you overcome them? Early in my career, I often felt intimidated by the brilliant architects, land planners, and engineers that I work with on a daily basis. I overcame my feelings of intimidation by getting to know them personally, asking tons of questions, and reading every engineering and architectural book I could buy on Amazon. I continue to do that today and it’s only continued to help me succeed.

Who was your most helpful mentor in the business? Our marketing director, Michelle Martinez-Reyes, has been by far the most helpful mentor that I’ve had in this business. She’s extremely good at what she does, but she’s also a good person who loves to see others succeed. Plus, she always gives honest feedback and sound advice.
