Returning to Arizona and settling in Paradise Valley in 2002, Oriana began her interest in real estate through her personal and family investment property management and personal investments. While getting her license, Oriana started her own business Triple Play Management, LLC and consulted for corporations and non-profits on how they can best “marry” their needs and benefit each other along with other sales and marketing endeavors.

What does she love about Arizona?: “It is home. And we are blessed with a place of such natural beauty, with so much available for various enthusiasts – golf, skiing (water/snow), hiking, fantastic resorts, restaurants, shopping, cycling, medicine, technology and so so much more. There is something for everyone. Best of all so much more calls out to our residents all in driving distance; beaches, the Rockies, Mexico and more. It is a great place to be single, raise a family or have the family you raised come visit!”
