My professional journey commenced in the mid-1990s within the realm of investment banking. Beginning as a trainee stock broker, I ascended through the ranks into wealth management and financial planning, handling a diverse array of financial instruments including stocks, bonds, and commodities.
In 1998, the seismic collapse of Long Term Capital Management, a prominent hedge fund, sent shockwaves through the financial markets, necessitating a $3.5 billion Federal Reserve bailout. Recognizing the unfolding crisis, I made the pivotal decision to step away from Wall Street. I established an international platform focused on the medical transcription process, adhering to the stringent guidelines of the HIPAA Act.
In response to the post-9/11 landscape, I identified real estate as a viable opportunity. My trajectory began as a Processor, subsequently accruing experience as an Underwriter, Funder, Loan Officer, and Realtor, ultimately transitioning to Mortgage Banking, engaging in the trading of mortgage-backed securities on the secondary market.
The U.S. subprime mortgage crisis (2007-2010) was a multifaceted financial calamity. Its genesis lay in the substantial decline of U.S. home prices following the collapse of a housing bubble, precipitating mortgage delinquencies and the devaluation of housing-related securities.
Owing to uncertainties surrounding U.S. immigration policies, I relocated to Canada. Upon arrival, I sought refugee status, ultimately obtaining protected status in 2019. During this interval, I engaged in a diverse array of occupations, discovering the regulatory framework governing British Columbia.
This allowed me to acquire proficiency in Medical Spa, Paralegal, Social Service Work, Psychology, and Counselling. I transitioned into the educational sector in January 2021, advancing to Director of Admission for the Downtown Vancouver campus, facilitating over 800 students in less than two years.
In November 2021, we registered "Heart Tattoo Society". Presently, the organization serves over 15,000 meals monthly to the underserved through food recovery efforts.
