I have been employed by the O’Daniel organization for 23 plus years. Our mission at O’Daniel Automart/Mazda is to continuously exceed the expectations of our customers. I have spent my career dedicated to delivering exceptional service and value. Our promise is to create an environment of mutual trust and respect. Buying a vehicle should be a great experience. I am so blessed to be employed by a dealership that shares the same values. When I am not working I enjoy spending every free minute with my family. I love golfing with my wonderful husband Bob, my daughter Ashley and my son Daniel. That is the best Foursome I could ever ask for!
