On my very last day of highschool, I was fortunate to secure a Position at Birch Capital, an investment and wealth management firm that handles a range of asset classes including Real Estate, Insurance, Bonds, and Solar. I had the opportunity to learn from industry experts and assist with the management of properties, analyzing market trends and financial data, as well as participating in negotiations and contract fulfillment. 

During my first summer as an Associate, I was responsible for preparing documents, scheduling meetings, Refining my use of excel, and visiting properties under construction. Through this first summer experience, I gained a strong understanding of the company’s asset management software and developed a comprehensive knowledge of real estate principles. As a result of my performance and constant curiosity, I was invited to extend my to the following summer. 

During my second round as an Associate, my roles were widely expanded to include more hands-on responsibilities. From analyzing real time market trends to participating in negotiations, I learned to make and advise in making informed investment decisions with a consultants permit. I gained valuable negotiation skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with clients and stakeholders in and external of my team. 

Through my two summers at Birch Capital, I was able to locate, negotiate, and project the costs for renovation on over 20 different Residential real estate transactions, ranging between $25,000 - $300,000 in value. I tasked our Intern team to find ways to boost investor interests in our company through marketing. After a week of brainstorming, structuring, and initiating our campaign, we researched the most popular platforms that investors used for information. We prompted blog posts and articles on topics regarding the local real estate markets that would promote our business and engage our audience to join the worksite. I participated in multiple groups that aimed to connect and learn from relative professionals. Overall, the marketing efforts that team led were wildly successful. We were able to play a key role in boosting investor trust and interest by sharing transparent and informed content on a consistent basis.
