"During my time as a board member of REA at Cal State Fullerton, I received the opportunity to develop myself professionally at a very early stage in my college career by joining the club when I was a junior. I made lifelong friendships, met students who were self motivated and hungry to be the best real estate professionals possible. REA exposes many students to scholarship opportunities, professional development groups and mentors. Every club meeting was better than the last due to bringing in high quality guest speakers who are both well known and highly respected in the OC real estate industry, which is something you cannot get anywhere outside of the club. It is because of REA my circle of friends and I have full time jobs right out of graduation. I am so thankful I joined REA because it fully changed my college experience and positively influenced me to dream big."
