KATRINA CAMPINS, founder of The Campins Company, is a savvy, twenty-first century businesswoman who speaks with genuine enthusiasm about the power of creating one’s own destiny. Not only is she talking the talk, she is also walking the walk. Following her introduction on the national stage from her success on the first season of The Apprentice, Katrina has forayed her initial media exposure into a multitude of television appearances, most notably as a correspondent on ESPN’s Cold Pizza and as a cast member on BRAVO TV’s Miami Social. She has also ap­peared NBC, VH1, E!, HGTV, SiTV, Topps TV, Fox News, CNN, CNBC, ESPN, MTV, Bloomberg TV, and BBC.

Katrina’s courtship with television blossomed to a fast-paced love affair with the multi-faceted convergent media that has transcended the realm of real estate where she made her mark at an early age. Katrina credits the influence and guidance of Donald Trump with expanding her aspirational horizons. And whereas Trump provided the catalyst for Katrina’s diversification, what has followed since The Apprentice, has been the product of Katrina’s intelligent business acumen, her passion for people, and her desire to branch out into a host of related industries, all aimed at fostering individual empowerment.

As a first-generation Cuban-American, Katrina is hardwired for excellence and has a genetic predisposition for pas­sionate engagement. From an early age, the notion of the American “dream” was her palpable reality.

Her career in real estate began when she “flipped” her first investment property at age seventeen. Katrina garnered her first six-figure commission check while still a student at the University of Miami, where she majored in Interna­tional Finance and Marketing, and where she graduated with a perfect grade point average.

In 2004, Katrina launched The Campins Company -with headquarters in Miami Beach and branches in other major U.S. cities and has constructed an “A” list roster of clientele consisting of celebrities, athletes and entrepreneurs. Ka­trina is among the most visible and successful real estate professionals in the country and her sales production ranks her among the top ½ percent of Realtors®. http://www.thecampinscompany.com/

Katrina formed the Sports & Entertainment division of the Campins Company in 2005 to better service her celebrity clients with their real estate needs throughout the entire United States. Since 2005, Katrina has personally repre­sented over 253 athletes and/or entertainers in this capacity. http://www.tccse.com/ and now Campins Relocation Nationwide!

In demand for her knowledge of innovative business negotiations that extend far beyond the realm of real estate, Ka­trina has been featured in numerous publications including her recognition as Realtor Magazine’s “Top 30 Under 30″ in 2004, Forbes, USA Today, NY Post, NY Times, Sports Illustrated, Ocean Drive, ESPN, Player Magazine, Variety Magazine, the covers of People Magazine, US Weekly, In Touch, and many more.

But Katrina’s interests have grown substantially in the past two years and real estate is just one jewel in her ever-expanding crown. Katrina’s latest venture, Be Entertainment includes a collection of enterprises involving music, film, television, fashion, and social media networking-all aimed at empowering others “BE GR8ER” than the hand they’ve been dealt-to be the highest possible version of themselves. Known for her commercial prowess, negotia­tion skills, market knowledge and no-nonsense, results-driven approach, Katrina is re-writing the paradigm for the modern business woman, and she is doing it one idea and one person at a time.
