What’s your favorite part of your showroom customer service role?

I love listening to different stories from my customers.

I also enjoy working with the ladies we have in the showroom. So a big thank you to Robin and Pierrette for helping us make the showroom run so smoothly.

What’s the most “memorable” experience you’ve had while at work here? (Amazing story?)

I have to say that all the Car shows we had and including the Gulf Tournaments. Being involved and seeing our customers communicating with them about the event and time they are having.

I also enjoyed the employee dinner events we had in the past. Very nice enjoying a cocktail while having a nice dinner and just catching up.

Would you like to comment on why you’ve stayed with Kimal for 14 years, and counting?

It always feels like family here. 

What about family members….and how do you spend your leisure time? 

I have two grown sons. I have lots of fur grandbabies lol from both of them.

I love and enjoy the outdoors spending time with family and friends.
