Presenter bio
With nearly 16 years of experience at Dunn-Edwards Paints, I am proud to serve as a Designer Services Representative, partnering with interior designers throughout Arizona to bring their creative visions to life. With a degree in Interior Design and a bachelor's degree in business management from Northern Arizona University (NAU), I bring a unique blend of design expertise, product knowledge, and business insight to my role.
I work closely with interior design professionals to support their projects through color consultation, finish and product specification, and access to valuable design resources and color tools. I am passionate about building strong relationships within the design community and helping designers feel confident and inspired throughout the design process. In addition to providing personalized project support, I coordinate continuing education (CEU) presentations, host lunch-and-learns, and collaborate with ASID and other design organizations to create meaningful educational and networking opportunities.
Outside of work, my greatest joy is my family. I am a proud mom of three—two energetic boys, ages seven and five, and a sweet baby girl—and a grateful wife to my wonderful husband. When I’m not working with designers, I love spending quality time with my family and making memories together. Balancing a career I love with the joys of motherhood is something I truly cherish.
