What she likes best about her job: I love watching clients’ reactions when they receive promotional products with their logo on them.

Age roadblocks and advantages: [The advantage is I’m] energetic.

Her biggest career influence: My dad has been really helpful with advice. He has done sales for many years and we love giving each other advice.

Her most meaningful business accomplishment: [I enjoy] finding connections with each individual client that I never thought I had. I also feel I’m more confident and independent.

Her differentiating factor: I just try to be myself and sell my service in a good, positive manner.
