I joined CICI because I was impressed by the passionate and highly professional team, whose dedication and expertise resonate with my own values and aspirations.
I like working in commercial real estate finance because I love diving into the numerical complexity, and meticulously evaluating collateral’s strengths and weaknesses.
I believe the keys to success are hard work, enthusiasm, and desire to succeed.
I am proud of being able to start life from scratch here in Canada while being well-established in my home country and surpassing even my parents’ expectations of this endeavour.
If you ask about me, my colleagues would say that I am a professional, deeply dedicated to my work, and demonstrate unwavering passion in every task.
The best part of my day is when I have my coffee in the morning when the rest of the family is sleeping.
My personal core values are transparency, collaboration, and professionalism.
