    Long Ma

    Student, UC Irvine

    I am a standing Junior at UC Irvine who is pursuing Business Administration with a focus in Finance. My career field of interest is in Real Estate Finance, but primarily within Commercial Real Estate. Coming from an immigrant family and being born abroad in Vietnam, I want to do the best I can to make the most of the opportunity I was given by coming to America. I know that for my family and myself, Real Estate is the best way to propel us forward and create generational wealth. Currently I am looking for internships and other opportunities to create experiences that will deepen my knowledge of Real Estate and hopefully lead to my continued endeavors within this industry.
