I come from a family that has been part of the appliance industry for generations, so this work has always felt familiar to me. Growing up, I helped with small tasks around the business, from filing and shredding papers to breaking down boxes, and occasionally turning those boxes into forts. 

At our family business, I now run operations, working closely with my parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Being surrounded by family in a professional setting has taught me the value of collaboration, accountability, and building something that lasts. 

I have served on the PSA Board since 2024 and joined because the PSA community has always felt welcoming and genuine. PSA helped connect my company with vendors and gave me insight into different approaches to running a business, solving problems, and growing within the industry. I am grateful for the opportunity to give back to a community that has played such an important role in my career.
