She was born and raised in Albania, moved to the US upstate New York when she was about seven years old. And she has actually always been just fascinated and interested in housing, homeownership as kind of part of that American dream. So she studied economics and really liked statistics. So she learned that statistics are so important in analyzing economic trends and just really developed an interest in real estate and housing and homeownership and also those demographics are just so important in housing, and being able to forecast what’s going to happen in the housing market.
