Given your past experiences, what event/ project or moment would you revisit and how would you go about it differently based on your current frame of mind?

• My biggest obstacle has always been the pursuit of perfectionism in the workplace, rather than realizing that my work is already satisfactory. Over the years, my desire to have the "perfect" result from my work has led to unnecessary delays, stress, and even increased pressure on my fellow colleagues in the office. In an industry where deadlines and timeliness are a focal point, this personal habit made me realize that I thought I was taking one step forward, but in reality, I was actually taking two steps backwards.
  
  If I could revisit my early days in real estate career, I would want to change this habit because I've realized that being a team player allowed me to thrive more than I initially realized. All of that extra time I spent on over-engineering tasks could now be used to focus on assisting my peers and leaving my surroundings better than I found it.

From your perspective, what is the industry lacking to support the modern renter and how do you plan to help supply that need? 

• In the modern era where automation and artificial intelligence currently thrives, I firmly believe that the modern renter lacks genuine interactions and the sense of being taken care from a humanistic approach.
  
  This can have detrimental effects on how real estate associates take care of people, especially in moments where emotions need to be recognized and handled with care. Managers already suffer from being the "villain" to a multitude of renters who previously had some negative experiences with their property management, so what is a grounded path for us to take in our industry while we experience the mass integration of AI?
  
  I believe that I can supply a solution that I exercise daily- and it's quite simple. Treat everyone as if they're a lifelong friend and watch how quickly your tactics, demeanor, and ethics evolve. A proven example of this method's success is Chick-Fil-A. Their food isn't what causes those lines to wrap around the building, it's the unmatched respect and kindness from their employees that make people want to invest in their product.
  
  If you make any human feel happier with a voice that's heard at the end of the day, the retention speaks for itself.
