Hailing from the vibrant archipelago of the Philippines, I am proud to bring a unique perspective as the only international member of our team. I graduated with a BS in Foreign Affairs, a field that has fueled my passion for understanding diverse cultures and histories. My journey began with a deep fascination for the intricacies of global relations and an appreciation for the rich tapestry of cultural interactions. This background has equipped me with a keen sense of perspective and adaptability, essential qualities that I bring to my role as the Executive Assistant to Dave Futch at Compass.
Transitioning from the academic world to the dynamic environment of real estate, I have found that my enthusiasm for cultural understanding and history translates well into helping clients navigate the complexities of the real estate market. I am committed to maintaining a balance between productivity and a fulfilling personal life, embodying the philosophy of Carpe Diem. This mindset drives me to seize opportunities, approach challenges with optimism, and make the most of every moment.
One of the enriching aspects of my role is the shared Austronesian heritage between the Philippines and Hawaii. This common cultural thread, marked by a profound respect for community, family, and the natural world, provides a meaningful connection to my colleagues and the broader Hawaiian community. It’s a heritage that values storytelling, community bonding, and a deep relationship with the land and sea—principles that resonate deeply with me and enhance my understanding and appreciation of Hawaii’s unique culture. In my current role, I handle a broad spectrum of responsibilities including Marketing, Database Management, Blogging, Social Media posting, and Newsletter creation. My goal is to streamline our operations and provide robust support to Dave, ensuring that we deliver exceptional service to our clients.
Beyond the professional sphere, I am a bodybuilder and a free-diver, I am an avid explorer of both local and global histories, and I enjoy immersing myself in various cultural experiences. This passion not only enriches my personal life but also enhances my ability to connect with clients and understand their unique needs and backgrounds. Dedicated to excellence and inspired by the rich cultural heritage of both my homeland and my team, I am here to contribute a fresh and dynamic approach to our real estate endeavors.
