I play drums, do pottery on a potter’s wheel and like driving fast cars on racetracks. Being with my family in the outdoors; hiking, skiing, fishing, and walking my dogs all bring me joy! Stylish, colorful, and well-made women’s dress shoes evoke wonderful memories of growing up in the shoe business.

I love spending time with my family and and if I could be anywhere other than here, besides with my family, I’d be on a tropical island soaking in the vitamin D. I enjoy colorful, comfortable shoes and wanted to do something in beauty or fashion when I was little, fitting, right?

I love sports! So much in fact, that I want to be a play-by-play announcer for an NBA team. I even would be at a Cavs game if I could be anywhere at this very moment. I think that makes me a fun person to be around and I easily make connections with others.

I love fashion and footwear, but my true passion is traveling. I've been everywhere from Eastern Europe to Utah and I actually prefer mountains over beaches! I'm an avid hiker and I've hiked 15 of our National Parks so far. I'm all about my cute cats, Gibson and Pooko, and I like to wear Johnston & Murphy shoes regularly.

I’m very patient and kind, which is perfect for this position! In addition to my responsibilities for keeping Mar-Lou’s facilities running like clockwork, I love selling SAS and Ziera because they work well for almost every customer and they’re comfortable. When I’m not at work you can find me giving back to the community by volunteering.

If I could be anywhere at this very moment, I'd be in Hawaii soaking up some vitamin C and D! The skills I bring to Mar-Lou would be my communication skills. I love to chat with everyone and anyone, which makes working here perfect for me. I think my co-workers would all agree I'm a very talkative person!

When I was younger I wanted to be a dentist, but now I think this is the perfect job for me! I’m meticulous, which helps me do my job well. When I’m not at work you can find me watching a good movie wearing comfortable shoes ;).
