Mark Pe

Account Manager

Hi. I’m Mark Pe. As a young man with many career dreams, I started working from a young age in the hospitality industry with jobs that included bartending, serving tables, bar-backing, bussing tables and even working in hotels.

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work, but when combined, it’s a scary scenario.”

I couldn’t agree more with the quote mentioned above. Life introduced me to the marketing industry, and I haven’t looked back. I have been in this industry for two years. I love that our company allows me to provide opportunities daily and work with people who have good intentions and inspire others to be great. I enjoy working with well-known businesses across industries and helping my clients reach their products and services to their target audience.

I have several personal and professional goals that I want to achieve in the next few years. I want to continue teaching others how to run a business as effectively as mine. I also want to promote seven people to management roles this year. On the personal front, I look forward to getting engaged within the next few months and going on family vacations with my kids and family. I am working towards building a national organization across 30 cities. I also want to create a non-profit organization in the neighborhood I grew up in to help educate low-income families on financial literacy and equip the youth with the proper tools to succeed.

Looking ahead, I want to retire my mom who’s worked so hard all her life, so I want to be able to pay it forward. I see myself being able to consult for over 30 offices, while being happily married, My kids and my family motivate me to keep working hard. I have two little boys who depend on me to provide them with the future that I didn’t have growing up.

I hope my continued mentorship, my drive, and my passion never change. I derive great strength from relationship-building and leading by example.

I believe the small things in life inspire you to do great things. I wake up with gratitude, take my oldest to school, wake up an hour earlier than supposed to spend time with my newborn and I wake up to an opportunity to build something for my future. I meditate twice a day; it helps me wind down and relax. Thanksgiving Day is my favorite time of the year as I get to self-reflect on what I’m grateful for and give back.

Jannel Chavez

Assistant Manager

My name is Jannel and I’m one of the Account Managers here. I moved to NYC from Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2023 and started working at Coastal Connections shortly after. My biggest motivation to continue to work hard is to be financially free and to support my mother. In my free time, I like to play soccer and go to the gym. To unwind, I spend some time outdoors.

A quote that I live by is “It is never too late to be what you might have been.”

Liliana Garcia Santana

My name is Liliana Nicole Garcia Santana. I was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Norwalk, Connecticut. I played softball growing up and was a pitcher, which taught me a lot about discipline and teamwork. I went to Southern Connecticut State University, where I majored in Business and minored in Marketing.

What motivates me every day is my family, especially my two little brothers, my mom, and my grandma. My ultimate goal is to become financially free and be my own boss. I’m working hard to build a future where I can take care of the people who mean the most to me.

Jose Campis

My name is Jose Campis, and I was born in Manhattan, New York, but raised in Bridgeport, Connecticut. I graduated from the University of Bridgeport with a degree in Finance, and ever since, I’ve been passionate about using my skills to build a strong financial future—not just for myself, but for my family and community. My biggest motivation is being able to help and provide for my loved ones while working toward creating lasting generational wealth.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and challenging myself through soccer, tennis, and regular workouts at the gym. I thrive in team environments and genuinely enjoy helping others succeed. Whether I’m collaborating with colleagues or supporting those around me, I bring a people-first mindset and a strong sense of purpose to everything I do.
