Admin
What do you love most about your job?
Working with this incredible staff and getting to know our clients as the years go on.
Tell me about your hobbies. What do you like to do when you are not working?
My hobbies include anything that allows me to be outside. That can be anything from sitting at a fire, hiking, enjoying a nice dinner outside. If there is sunshine and water (lake or pool), I’ll be there. Oh, I also love to travel. And go to live sporting events and concerts…what, I like to have a good time.
What is your favorite quote or saying or word of advice?
“Wild spirit, soft heart, sweet soul.”
Tell me your favorite story or experience working at Lewis Group.
I enjoy our team building activities. The celebration after tax season, holiday parties or the end of year meetings.
How did you start working for Lewis Group?
We had a mutual person that told me Lewis Group was looking for office personnel, to which I quickly reached out. I was so nervous for the interview and blacked out for most of it and still somehow managed to land the position!
Give me a special ability or trait you have that helps you do your job.
I like to work with people. Being in a front office position, it comes easy to me to build a relationship with clients.
What is your office pseudonym or nickname?
The “God Blesser” I didn’t realize how quick I am to say “God Bless you” after someone sneezes, until Zach started to tease me about it and now he tries to beat me to saying it.

Describe yourself in three words.

Your stuck inside and have to binge watch a TV show, which one do you pick?
Virgin River, anything Christmas, Schitt’s Creek, Modern Family, or Shrinking.
