My love affair with cars began in High School, the object of my affection: a beautiful, blue 1971 Chevy Nova Super Sport. I didn’t know it at the time, but my high school crush would turn into a life-long passion and a great career. After graduation, I enrolled in the Automotive Technology program at Southeast Community College, Milford Campus and was the second woman to graduate from the 18-month course. I also completed the Parts Management and Distribution program. I worked my co-op quarter at Gotfredson Chrysler-Plymouth (which became Russwood in 1989) then moved to Columbus and became the Parts Manager at the Dodge Dealer. After 3 years, I moved back to Lincoln and worked with Gotfredson-Russwood. I started in parts as the Wholesale Representative and after a year moved into the Parts Manager position. In 1997, I became the Service & Parts Director. When Russwood closed it's doors in 2012, I decided, along with friend and coworker Jared McPike, it was time to set out on our own. Our new shop, inMOTION Auto Care opened in December 2012. We have been extremely blessed with the outpouring of support from past Russwood customers and the many new customers that have given us the opportunity to earn their business. Working in the auto industry has always been a very fulfilling experience and I’m looking forward to many more years in this ever changing business.Specialties: Educating consumers about their automotive repairs and maintenance needs, Automotive technology, Marketing and customer retention, Parts purchasing and management, Leadership, Customer service
