About Me
After several successful years selling with FirstTeam, I was offered the role of Director of Training which allowed me to oversee all aspects of training within the company. My goal was to deliver industry-leading training and coaching for all 2000+ FirstTeam agents throughout the company. One of my first accomplishments in that role was the creation of ‘First Team University’ which was formed to provide a full-service training solution ranging from pre-licensing courses (Principles, Legal Aspects, Practices), Basic and Advanced sales training, Mastery workshops, Special events and the introduction of a comprehensive Online training platform to the company. Additional duties include strategic planning, advertising, budgeting, and management of a full team of Trainers, Career Counselors, and Administrative professionals.
From the Director of Training, I moved on to manage the Anaheim Hills office. When I started at the office we had 84 agents and were ranked 2nd in the city. Today we have over 140 agents are are the #1 office by a large margin. For 2017 I was fortunate enough to win the Manager of the Year award. I owe it all to my team. In 2019, I was honored to be asked to take on the role of Regional Manager within the company. My new territory includes overseeing the Anaheim Hills, Tustin, Newport Beach, and our Lido offices. These offices make up some of the most important and influential offices anywhere in Southern California. Though my team and responsibilities have expanded, the mission remains the same – provide everyone with the tools and opportunity to succeed and make sure they know that they are part of something bigger.
