About Marianne Zeltner As someone who was raised in Switzerland, I was instilled with a strong work ethic and attention to detail from a young age. My parents emphasized the importance of punctuality and preparation, which has stuck with me throughout my life. Additionally, my father's constant oversight of construction work on our family home taught me the value of control and ensuring that everything is done right the first time. My travels with my husband for over 10 years have given me the opportunity to work in many international cities and adapt to different surroundings. Through this experience, I have learned to be flexible and improvise when necessary while always striving to be top-notch in my profession or in a group setting. My background in project management has also been instrumental in helping me implement new and better ways of doing my job. When my marriage ended, I quickly realized the need to support myself and my daughter financially. The advantage of being flexible and able to adjust to new situations helped me to succeed in finding a new job and continuing my journey. I am always planning ahead and ready to implement new ideas and adjust to new situations, which is why I was not afraid to leave Switzerland and start a new life in Florida. One of the biggest adjustments I had to make when moving to Florida was reducing my expectations for high-end quality work. In Switzerland and Europe, buildings are built to last for generations, but in Florida, I noticed that many construction sites looked more like they were assembled for 20-30 years. Through careful planning and control, I have been able to avoid upcoming problems and surprises, although this often comes with increased costs.
