My Passion
I really enjoy the upbeat environment at AGS. I love helping people, building relationships with customers and manufacturers and being part of a team that enjoys what we do.
I also thrive on challenges. The lighting industry is always giving me something new to learn, and I enjoy continuing to grow my knowledge and experience. For me, there’s always an opportunity to learn something new and find a better way to help someone.
My Role
As Inside Sales Manager for Lighting & Controls, I wear a lot of hats. I primarily handle project quotes, provide direction and training for the team, manage escalations and help make sure our customers receive the best possible service.
I also jump in wherever I’m needed. Every day is a little different, and I enjoy being able to support my team, solve problems and keep things moving.
My Career
I started my career in the lighting industry at Total Lighting & Control in 2013. In 2018, I joined Allied Group Sales, where I’ve continued to grow my experience and take on new responsibilities.
I’ve had the opportunity to learn a lot along the way, and I’m grateful for the chance to continue growing with AGS and the Lighting & Controls team.
When I’m not working with Lighting & Controls
When I’m not working, I enjoy cooking, tackling home improvement projects and making trips back home to Indiana.
I’m also a big fan of anything spooky, whether that’s reading a good book or watching something that keeps me guessing. Most of all, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three wonderfully wild children. Life at home is never boring, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
