About me.
I am a single female, originally from Venezuela, now residing in South Florida. People consider me easy to get along with, sociable, conversational, flexible, adaptable, a great cook and party hostess. I am outgoing, love the outdoors, especially the ocean. I am safety conscious, well-traveled and fluent in both English and Spanish. I have lived on a boat for the last year, and I am now available with no personal or time constraints.
During my previous career in property management, I handled all business budgets, managed all staff, hired/fired any employees and/or vendors, managed accounts payables/receivables. Other responsibilities included resolution of property maintenance issues, marketing, staff training, and overall daily tasks of running a business.
