"Turn your wounds into wisdom."


- Oprah Winfrey
Member of the Month
How long have you been a Chamber member and why did you join? I became a member in 2003 because I realize the value of building relationships with local businesses. It’s all about investing in the community for mutually beneficial support! When I lease or sell a property to a new business owner in the area, I recommend that they join the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce
because it is an effective way to get immediate exposure of the business and will enhance its growth.
Business Description : I am Vice President of Commercial Sales & Leasing for Selby Realty, Inc. and a Florida licensed Realtor actively selling and leasing commercial real estate since 2015.
 
I assist clients with their commercial real estate assets by listing and selling their properties. I also represent landlords and secure tenants for their commercial properties.
  
Last year, I was awarded the GRI (Graduate of Realtor Institute) designation from the National Association of Realtors. I participated in the Leadership program at the Daytona Beach Area Association of Realtors and was selected to receive one of the 2017 Rising Stars awards.
Favorite thing about being a Chamber member: My favorite thing about being a chamber member is the professional and personal connections that I have cultivated with like-minded business leaders. The friendships that I have made are invaluable. I enjoy the monthly Eggs & Issues and Business After Hours to continue to network and meet new Chamber members.
