Toma
What keeps you busy during the week?
I am the Director of Guest Services at Resorts World Bimini. I oversee the transportation (land, air and sea) and accommodations for our VIP players, executives and guests. Bimini is an island 50 miles east of Miami. It is primarily occupied by The Genting Group – which is my boss. We own and operate a 305-room Hilton, casino and are currently repairing our mega-yacht marina; the largest in the Bahamas.
Jonah
What keeps you busy during the week?
I am the general manager of the café at Books and Books in Coral Gables and I consult for our other restaurants. My dad bought the property (of our Gables location) about a month ago, so I also do the maintenance for the building and anything else needed.
Dina

I work as a birthday party performer and a music class teacher for the fabulous Jam with Jamie.
Marko
What keeps you busy during the week?
I played on professional circuit for a couple of years. I ended up getting hurt at the time when the dot com bubble had just burst. The economy wasn't doing very well. I met with people that I looked up to for life advice, and they recommended going to law school. It would offer me a flexible postgraduate degree, something that I could utilize whether I practiced law or whether I went into some other field. I found the competition aspect of litigation, which is what I do, particularly appealing, because it was somewhat of a continuation of my tennis in a different arena. Tennis is a muscle memory type sport and with litigation you also have to prepare as much as possible. In tennis, you have to study your opponent to understand what type of player they are and what type of strategy they might utilize against you. In the same respect, you go through a similar analysis when going to court, trying to anticipate what the other side is going to do and how to nullify that and gain an advantage.
Christopher
What keeps you busy during the week?
We have a natural wine company called Primitive Selections. My wife works from home. Especially now, with our oldest doing virtual learning. My wife helps with inventory and the books. My brother is a graphic designer, and is responsible for the social media and design aspect of the company. My mother and I do the wine tastings and talk with our distributors. I would say my mom would be the one in charge, but for the most part we easily collaborate with each other.
Lorin
What keeps you busy during the week?
My toddler, Raygan keeps me busy. And, I run an outpatient pediatric clinic. My office is in Pinecrest and we see kids in school and in our office space.
Alexandra
What keeps you busy during the week?
Two years ago I started getting back to just more of a craft space. I started making wood toys for Auggie, not to sell or anything. I have a little wood shop here and I do carving. Last year I made a set of gnomes, because her favorite book is a Gnome book. I also own a vacation rental in Little Havana that has three units. So that's sort of like a constant creative endeavor.
Sarah
What keeps you busy during the week?
Now, I am the director of international admissions at FIU. Prior to the pandemic, I was traveling and recruiting international students for undergraduate and graduate programs at FIU.
