Dymir Is One Step Closer To Reaching Real Estate Empire Goals! 2

Congratulations to our very own Dymir Akins who has just been hired full-time by Watchtower Property Co. as a Lead Office Administrator! Dymir is one of our previous dual-enrollment students who has recently graduated high school and looking to move into a career in real estate.

Earlier this year, he won 1st place in our Business Pitch Competition and has consistently expanded his vending machine business over the past few months. He now has multiple vending machines in locations all over Philadelphia. Anyone who has interacted with Dymir will tell you he is a natural entrepreneur with incredible ambition and resiliency. We are so proud of every bit of his success!

“I’m so excited about this next step in my journey. I’ve faced a few obstacles during this time, but they have only helped my growth. Thanks to everyone at Hopeworks who helped make this opportunity possible.”

Congratulations, Dymir!
