On the other hand, Marshell’s transition into entrepreneurship is a story of empowerment and self-discovery. Although her initial aspirations didn't include becoming an entrepreneur, the desire to take control of her financial future and achieve peace of mind propelled her onto an unexpected yet fulfilling path.

While the notion of being her own boss brought both excitement and skepticism, Marshell's realization of her innate gift for serving others became the catalyst for her evolution into an entrepreneur and leader.

"I am able to succeed because I help others do the same," reflects Marshell, “I can see what makes someone great and I was able to become an entrepreneur when I realized how the gift of serving others uplifted me as well.” Her commitment to others' success isn't just a business strategy; it mirrors her genuine belief in the power of collaboration and shared success.

For Marshell, working alongside her husband isn't just a professional collaboration; it's a blessing. “We support each other, and we trust that we can come together to make decisions that are best for the company.” The mutual trust and support they share have fostered a harmonious working relationship extending beyond business.

What sustains Marshell’s entrepreneurial endeavors? The ability to serve not only her business partners, customers, and vendors but also her husband and herself. It's a holistic approach to success emphasizing the communion of personal and professional fulfillment.

Together, Rafael and Marshell head a team that has steered the company through various challenges, turning obstacles into opportunities, and positioned REO Enterprise, LLC as a reliable and trustworthy partner for construction projects.

Their extensive portfolio boasts successful million-dollar contracts with prestigious clients such as Atlanta Public Schools, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Hughes Spalding, the US Department of Homeland Security, and Fort Benning Armed Forces Reserve Center.
