As a former teacher, I bring patience, listening skills and a sense of empathy -as well as a healthy dose of fun!- to my role as a sales and leasing consultant at Crown Acura. Whether you're looking for a new or used car, have credit challenges or you're a multi-millionaire, first-time buyer or have bought more cars than I've sold (it's possible!) - everyone gets treated with respect and dignity, and we all enjoy the experience together.
