Office
Hannah
Office Coordinator
Phone: 4132535456
Email:
Hannah started with us February of 2023 making her the newest member of our team. She is Doreen’s right-hand in the office and is learning some of the ins and outs of what it takes to keep things running. Typing up contracts for customers, registering equipment for warranty coverage, and processing invoices are just a few things that keep her busy in the office! Although on our crazy days she can be seen coming downstairs to the showroom to lend a hand anywhere she can help. Hannah’s years of experience working in a pharmacy have provided her with good attention to detail, and an upbeat attitude that puts customers at ease when they’re talking to her on the phone or in the showroom! Her favorite part of her job is using her creativity to come up with Facebook posts while collaborating with Marshall. In Hannah’s down time she can be found with her head buried in a book, painting or traveling. She loves to make people smile and her enthusiasm is contagious! (Although on early mornings it may drive everyone else here a little nuts.) We are excited to see how she builds upon the knowledge she’s gained so far and to watch her progress with the company.
