I joined CICI because I want to surround myself with genuine, competent, hardworking, passionate, and innovative professionals.
My strengths are bringing out the best in my colleagues, helping them grow and prosper, and assisting my clients in complex or unique situations that require flexibility and creative problem-solving to ensure certainty of execution.
The best part of my day is celebrating the successful transactions and wins with my borrowers, clients, lenders, and teammates.
My personal core values are trust, integrity, selflessness, and putting my heart and soul into everything I do both professionally and personally.
