Entrepreneurship

  • Garcia & Ozua Transnational Business Portfolio ($3.5 Million in Assets)

    • Led transnational asset acquisition and diversification (ethnic grocer, restaurant, multi-family complex) across the U.S. and Mexican peripheries.

    • Negotiated $1.5 Million in leasing contracts and managed complex accounting—providing the direct quantitative baseline for calculating the Insecurity Premium (IS) and Compliance Surcharge (CS) in real-time asset valuation.

  • Lupita’s Meat Market (Ethnic Supermarket)

    • Assisted with accounting and budget reconciliation for a high-volume ethnic supermarket ($1.5 Million in yearly sales, 17 employees), providing direct data on the price volatility and supply chain friction essential for the Border Living Index (BLI).

    • Managed 9 employees, overseeing daily routines and invoicing, which offers ethnographic insight into labor management and informal market expectations in the periphery.
