Bio
Stephanie Garner
Judy was clearly interested in helping me grow as both an employee and an individual. Whenever I had questions, concerns or needed direction, Judy was quick to respond—and even followed up later in the week or month to make sure my issues had been resolved. Her patience and willingness to help motivated me to do the best job I could. When our company started suffering in the midst of the pandemic, Judy lead our team fearlessly. She reconfigured the teams sales strategy found ways to maximize sales in difficult times. Judy is a born leader & mentor. She sets a good example to all. Judy has the skills to build trust, earn respect, boost the morale of her team, & increase productivity. I count myself lucky to have had Judy as a superior and will forever consider her as a mentor.
