What has enabled you to be successful?
Success requires both hard work and collaboration. I’m so fortunate to have two amazing partners who regularly inspire me and help me grow in my career. I further have the privilege of working with the dedicated staff at Cronin & Cronin and professional colleagues with whom I collaborate daily.
In addition, the experience of sitting on the executive boards of both The Safe Center LI and the Long Island Real Estate Group has exposed me to so many different aspects of our community as well as ways of thinking and approaching issues which has helped me grow both in my personal and professional life.
I have always had a strong work ethic and that has been fostered by being surrounded by so many other successful inspiring individuals in my daily life.
The people I have had the privilege of knowing and working with have been an invaluable part of my career success and I am incredibly grateful.
