Sales are in my blood, I’m proud to have followed in my Dads footsteps who sold for Allstate for over 30 years. I have been working in the flooring industry since '88. Starting in retail sales, working directly with customers before I moved to outside sales in '93. It’s rewarding to help people achieve their design goals.

I started my career as an interior designer and quickly learned that I loved designing and working with stone & tile the most. This led me to pursue high-end stone and tile sales and 22 years later it is still my passion! My sales and design path has allowed me to pursue inside and outside sales for newly quarried stone, antique materials, bespoke tiles, & architectural stone. I thrive on building long-term relationships with customers and being their go-to for products. At Elon there is absolutely no shortage of kindness, attentiveness, or passion. Hands down we have the most amazing team!
