How long have you been involved in the marine industry?
I have been in the industry for 25 years. Working at the yacht clubs, and many events. I started in sailmaking over 20 years ago. I began as the office manager and learned how to sew and work on sails. For the last six years, in addition to running the office, I have been making new sails and doing a lot of the service work. Now I’m very well adapted to the service sailmaking side of the business. I appreciate the detail involved in sailmaking.
What do you like most about the Marine Industry?
I like working with and taking care of the customers. So many have come to know me over the years, it like working with family. I also like the joy people have when their sails are ready on time!
What do you do in your spare time?
Ha! Spare time... I have three grandchildren so that pretty much fills my time when I'm not at work.
