ABOUT KARLA AMEZCUA
I am a natural born leader that loves to take initiative, and help others at all times. I enjoy exceeding excellence in all aspects of my job, and always continue to gain knowledge. I am a people person. I enjoy talking (sometimes you cannot get me to stop). I can almost always guarantee that our initial conversation will stem into lots of smaller conversations. I love to make people feel like they belong and are welcomed. I enjoy problem solving and having crucial conversations. I am never afraid to ask questions and enjoy working in a team along with being independent. On my free time, you can find me finishing up my last year of my MBA (go WAVES!), or spending time with my husband and three fur babies.
