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.

Congratulations, Dymir!
