I am so grateful to have joined the Production Department at DP&C in April of 2026. I bring 12 years of experience in customer service within the freight trucking industry. My passion is helping others through strong communication, compassion, and attention to detail. I am dedicated to supporting efficient workflows and delivering reliable services to both clients and colleagues.

I also work part time at a local yarn shop in Milton which fulfills my creative passion of knitting and crochet. My current projects include cardigans, sweaters, and socks!

Outside of work, I enjoy a full home life with my husband Dan of 4 years, my Father in Law, and two cats. We love traveling (cruising preferred!), usually have a home improvement project going on, and hosting dinner parties for our families and friends.
