A PROPERTY INVESTOR-BROKER
- With a keen interest in Real Estate, Jhoanna Gan So scanned real estate classified ads, viewed properties for sale as a hobby from childhood to adulthood.
- She sold her first property in College at the age of 20 and dabbled in Real Estate publishing soon after before getting into education.

- Together with her husband Mark, she invests in and manages rental properties. She specializes in leasing, property management, and project selling.
- Her company, Business Maker Academy, Inc., is an Accredited Training Provider of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) which offers CPD seminars in Real Estate.
A MOM
- Knowing early on that time is more important than gold, Jhoanna Gan So chose the road less traveled by starting her own company instead of working as a corporate executive. After spending years building and systematizing her training company, she has achieved her dream of having a comfortable life with total control over her time.
- As a result, she gets to spend most of her time with her cheesy husband and 2 awesome kids. She is the tutor-mom, art project teacher, guidance counselor, event planner, travel coordinator, clean-police and family financial planner—-For her kiddos, she is simply mom.
