What is your job title?
Showroom Manager

What do you do for your company?
I joined Alpha in May 2021 as a Sales Executive. I’ve held onto those sales responsibilities, but I’m now also the Showroom Manager – scheduling and coordinating showroom events, overseeing showroom renovations, managing social media accounts, assisting our owners with marketing and PR, and supporting the Sales Manager as needed.

Do you hold any NARI certifications?
No

How do you use your previous experience and/or education to do your job?
Prior to working in the stone industry, I worked in home staging and real estate. Helping people get their homes ready to hit the market was a completely different perspective – then, I was de-personalizing spaces and creating an aesthetic that would appeal to as many people as possible. Now, I help people infuse their homes with their own taste and personality. I love both for different reasons, but I truly love what I do now!

What do you love about remodeling?
I love being a part of helping people create their dream homes. Whether it’s a small project or a whole house renovation, it’s so rewarding to contribute to beautiful spaces that homeowners will enjoy for years to come.
