Through practical stories and hard-earned insight, she will show how developing “the developer’s eye” can change the way investors evaluate properties, recognize potential, and understand what it truly takes to turn land into value.</font></p> <p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px;">Attendees will walk away with a sharper perspective on land development, a better understanding of the mindset behind successful projects, and a new way to see opportunity where others may only see obstacles.</font></p> <p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 15px;"><strong><img src="https://oreio30.wildapricot.org/resources/Pictures/Carina%20Guzman%20Profile%201%20-%20Carina%20Guzma%CC%81n.png" alt="" title="" border="0"><br></strong></span></font></p> <p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 15px;"><strong>About Carina:</strong></span></font></p> <p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px;"><font><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span><font>Carina Guzmán is the President of Creative Dev Ventures and the founder of Land</font><font>&nbsp;</font></span></span></font><font>Development Academy, where she brings over 15 years of land development&nbsp;</font><span>experience to both real-world projects and developer education.</span></font></p> <p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px;"><font>Through CDV, she leads purpose-driven communities that integrate housing, wellness,&nbsp;</font><span>recreation, and long-term community value.
