Born in Caracas, Venezuela, I embarked on a journey that has taken me across continents and through diverse career paths. My early years in Miami from 1978 to 1980 ignited my passion for business, which I later pursued academically. After returning to Venezuela, I graduated from Mass Bay College with double minors in Marketing Sales and Management, and I earned a B.S. in International Business Administration from Babson College in 1995.
My professional journey began in the banking sector in 1995, with roles at the Bank of Boston till 1998 and later in Caracas, where I founded my own company, Adevic, C.A., specializing in marketing and selling levitation systems. My experience in the banking industry continued as I took on significant roles, including in the Oil department at Banco Venezolano de Credito and as VP of International at Banco Industrial de Venezuela.
In 2014, I returned to Miami, where I transitioned into the real estate business. I obtained my licenses as a Real Estate Broker and Mortgage Loan Officer, combining my extensive business background with my passion for helping others achieve their real estate goals until today.
