She leverages her creativity and 12 years of insurance industry experience to ensure that her clients are given a tailored experience when they come onboard to the company's program.

Quick on her feet and adaptable in the face of adversity, Villareal undoubtedly has a bright future ahead. Angela E. Watson DIRECTOR, CROSSCHECK COMPLIANCE LLC AGE: 33 Angela is all about rela- tionships and connecting people.

She's eager to help her custom- ers solve their problems directly or through offering a great referral. Watson has moved up in the industry at an impres- sive rate and her current trajectory doesn't look to be changing anytime soon. Heidi Weinzetl OF COUNSEL, BAKER DONELSON AGE: 34 Working in Bakel Donelson's Fort Lauderdale office, Weinzetl counsels and defends in mortgage and real estate litigation and other creditors' rights issues, but she says her legal focus is not simply to "fight for the sake of fighting." Rather, she prefers to look for global solutions that benefit her clients, homeowners, and even the local housing market. To that end, she often works with both clients and homeowners to ensure a win all- around, reasoning, "At the end of the day . . . it's better for my client to have a performing loan, [and] it's better for the economy in general." Trixy Weiss PRESIDENT AND CEO, GENESIS CAPITAL AGE: 35 Trixy Weiss, founder of Genesis Capital, a Minori- ty/Women owned business, has a unique capability to understand key issues that limit efficiencies within the industry. She is committed to developing high-result resolutions to her clients' needs. That commitment most recently resulted in the development of the interactive web-based real estate marketplace, the Property Exchange, a plat- form designed to cater as a one-stop shop for buyers and sellers seeking a fast and customized experience. Weiss strives to set herself apart in this competitive business by being able to connect with industry and non-industry professionals with her pioneering concepts and exceptional leadership qualities. Sarah Wroble ACCOUNT SUPERVISOR, WILLIAM MILLS AGE: 30 Sarah Wroble makes her living telling the story of the industry. As an Account Supervisor at William Mills Agency she has successfully led strategic public relations plans for more than a dozen agency clients in the banking, mortgage, payments, and insurance industries. Constantly growing as she continues to climb the industry ladder, her ability to asses her client's unique needs and find creative ways to present their public relations strategies to the general public position her for success in the years to come. "At the end of the day . . . it's better for my client to have a performing loan, [and] it's better for the economy in general." —HEIDI WEINZETL, BAKER DONELSON
