How long have you been with 4Wall/UsedLighting.com?

I joined the company at the beginning of 2016 from the ELS acquisition, where I had worked for the previous 16 years.

Tell us about a professional success story that you're proud of.

Overall, I am proud of my communications with my customers. I feel that I am very strong at customer service and at exceeding my customers' expectations.

What is your favorite memory working here?

It's more of an overall feel, which is my favorite thing about 4Wall. I like the camaraderie of the entire team, from the shop all the way to the CEO. Also, I can contact anyone in any position from this company at any time with a question or a concern, and it will be addressed.

Do you have any background in the lighting industry?

I did an internship with ELS in the summer of 1999 for my college honors program, then came back in January 2000 and was hired full-time. I had so many jobs while at ELS that I had an ongoing joke with the person who printed the business cards that my title should be JOAT (jack of all trades), which they did put on one set of my business cards. I was the crewing coordinator or the backup for that position for almost the entire time I was at ELS.  I also did the billing, missing and damaged, used gear sales, was a production assistant to the VP, was part of the team designing and creating the rental catalog, managing all the changes to our rental program along with troubleshooting and training, marketing, and electrical permitting. If there was a need, they would create a position for me, and I would move into that position while usually maintaining other roles that I was doing. I learned a ton, but I am very happy that I just have one role at 4Wall where I can excel!

Who are some of your biggest influences?

My mom is a huge influence. At one point, she worked two jobs while going to college and did incredibly well at all of them. She is an inspiration.

Describe an interesting hobby or pastime that you have.

I love to do what I call "adventuring" in Los Angeles. I go out every weekend, and I may go to a movie, a museum, the zoo, a theatrical production, or a concert. Or I go out and do something I've never done before. During this adventuring, I've gone to Bubble World, a monster truck rally, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, deep sea fishing, glass blowing and throwing pottery, etc. I'll try anything at least once.

What is something surprising that not many people know about you?

I'm pretty much an open book, so I don't really think anything surprises people. Maybe how much I curse and yell when I am driving in LA traffic? That comes as a surprise to most of my passengers.

What is one thing you can't live without?

Having a pet. Right now, I have two cats, Jack and Toby, who are almost 3 years old. My previous cat, Leo, was almost 18 when he passed away. I cannot ever imagine not having a pet.

What is something that you've always wanted to try or learn?

I went skydiving for my 40th birthday and took a hot-air balloon ride last year, so my next bucket list item is hang gliding. 

Tell us about a favorite memory from childhood.

Probably my earliest memory. The Disney Channel had just started, and they had a show called Mommy and Me, where there were "teams" of moms and their kids in different colors. They would do an exercise, like the kid sitting between the mom's legs and them stretching together, and everything ended with a hug. I was 2 or 3.
