I am currently working as an Area Sales Director for Northstar Memorial Group. I lead a team of Family Service Advisors at three locations assisting families in making cemetery and funeral arrangements through the selection and purchase of property, merchandise, and services in a professional, caring matter. For me, there is no greater responsibility than celebrating each life like no other and making a difference in the lives of the families we serve. Before getting into the funeral and cemetery industry, I spent over 15 years as management professional in the restaurant and hospitality industry and was lucky enough to work for some amazing concepts including Buffalo Wild Wings and Mimi's Cafe.I'm truly passionate about my work and always eager to connect with other sales and management professionals. While I enjoy all aspects of my job, one of the most rewarding parts is the emotional paycheck received when we help people plan, prepare, and support their loved ones for one of life's most difficult days.I have a B.S. in Management and Marketing from the University of South Carolina.I'm always interested in hearing from former colleagues, managers, or just interesting and creative individuals, so feel free to contact me if you would like to connect.
