About Me

I'm a Junior at Bryant University, majoring in Marketing and double minoring in Communication and Entrepreneurship. Upon graduation I would like to get a job with a major marketing firm to gain that experience within the corporate industry. After gaining invaluable knowledge from working with the best in the industry, I would like to move on to start my own business. I haven't quite decided on what I want to do yet but I have many ideas, which is also why I need a couple years after graduating to decide, but I know eventually I will get into owning my own real estate company. I'm a creative person who enjoys talking about business opportunities, just tossing ideas back and forth. I love the feeling of generating possible business ventures just by brainstorming. I also enjoy networking with people, knowing I can use those contacts somepoint in the future.

My Business

None yet, many to come.

My expertise, what I bring to the table

What I can bring to the table includes dedication to whatever I'm doing, focused attention, competitive nature but not close-minded, ability to see short and long-term goals, can plan ahead and stay organized, good leadership qualities, and a creative mind to help think outside the box.

My Goals

My goals for myself are to ultimately be successful in whatever I do. That does not mean making the most money, however at this point in my life that is what my main focus is. I want to live the entrepreneurial lifestyle of making your own hours and being your own boss.

My Defining Moment

Realizing becoming an entrepreneur was my future.

Who I'm looking to meet

I've always wanted to meet Donald Trump in person. I see him on TV all the time but I want to know if he's that intense when talking to him.

Interests

I enjoy many things. Traveling, swimming, competing in all sports, family, my dogs, making money, running my own business, networking, thinking innovatively, and many more.

At 7:53am on November 25, 2008, Christina Lyn Svadbik said…: Yeah, Miami is always a good market for real estate. My dad actually got started by purchasing, fixing up, and leasing single family homes ever since I was very young. He still has the majority of the houses as he only sells ones that he feels he could invest that money into another larger, more profitable house. With my grandfather, while I was attending my later years in elementary, he purchased a total of about 5 lots of which he and my grandfather turned into used car lots of which they ran. LoL, when I ask my grandfather why they picked that industry, he simply says that my dad knew about sales and he knew a little bit about the car industry. It makes me laugh because when they first got started it was really a learning experience as to show that you don't need to know everything to get started.
They definitely got out there and learned about the industry from all the connections they were able to acquire. As of now, my dad is still purchasing large homes while also leasing out all the car lots.
I am currently studying classes like real estate development and finance in school and talking to speakers that come in. I am also part of the real estate club so I really get involved with that.

At 9:41pm on November 23, 2008, Christina Lyn Svadbik said…: Hey : ) hope to hear more from you on your ventures as I am studying/researching real estate as well. My dad takes advantage of the investing side in Miami, FL and that's what I hope to also get into.
