Aspiring real estate professional with a strong analytical background.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
As a dedicated student at The University of Texas at San Antonio, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration in Real Estate Finance and Development, maintaining a GPA of 3.98. My academic journey has been complemented by hands-on experiences, including winning 1st place in the UTSA CCIM John Vogel Competition, where I created a financial analysis for a townhome development project and presented it to industry professionals.
In addition to my academic achievements, I founded a B2C e-commerce store, ArmandoCazares, where I not only launched innovative products but also engaged directly with customers through in-person sales at pop-up shops. My participation in various startup programs, such as the Entrepreneur Startup Academy and Geekdom Incubator, has further honed my skills in business planning, market analysis, and effective pitching. I am passionate about leveraging my skills and experiences to make a meaningful impact in the real estate industry.
