About

I am an Independent Sales Representative for Hospitality & Contract Furnishings. I am marketing to the A&D community in the Northern California and Northern Nevada Territories. Most of my lines can be seen at Dunkirk Hospitality (www.dunkirksf.com). For the OUTDOOR furniture segment I represent DEDON, TUUCI, Gloster, Tidelli, MAMAGREEN, Royal Botania, MARSET Lighting, to the A&D community, as well as end users and owners.
Previously:
I have been fortunate enough to be involved in the Hospitality & Contract furnishings business, selling to the A&D community, as well as end users all over the world.
I began my career as the sole proprietor of Design Source, an independent rep agency selling to the Hospitality and Contracts market. I helped to design and market several casual furnishings collections, which are still top sellers today. After 16 years, I was chosen to develop the Northwest Territory for JANUS et Cie, while helping to design the flagship showroom. After staffing the showroom, and hiring representation in the Northwest and Rocky Mountain states, I began to focus once again on my love of Sales and Marketing to the Hospitality professional.
I am passionate about people, and have raised a wonderful family – a grown son and daughter, as well as a few four legged furry canines. My friends are as important to me as my family and business, and I have been a proud member of NEWH.org for several years,was the President of the San Francisco Bay Area chapter for the year of 2014, and am now an Executive Advisor. I am committed to living a life full of love, commitment, and integrity – and I feel very fortunate to be able to share those traits with the very successful young people I have mentored over the years.
