I was originally born in Costa Rica and moved to the United States as a child. I am fully proficient in both English and Spanish. Prior to practicing real estate, I began my professional career with the City of Las Vegas. During my twelve years with the City of Las Vegas I had to opportunity to gain experience supervising recreational facilities, implementing and monitoring recreational programs, serving as the liaison between the NBA and City of Las Vegas, and also serving as the Committee Chair for the Mayor’s youth initiative annual recognition event known as the Red Carpet Event. In addition to my public service career I served as the Event and Development Coordinator for the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education in which I was primarily responsible for the annual black-tie fundraiser, fundraising, donor communications and relations.
