Bio
Theresa Gonos
On a daily basis Marie beautifully combines customer centric sales with the core values of the YMCA of the Rockies. She takes the time to have a genuine conversation to understand the goals of each group so that she can provide the best value for their money. She truly enjoys her work and the relationships she builds with each client. Her involvement with groups often extends much past the sales with personal volunteerism and support. A top performer in Group Sales, Marie would be an asset to any company looking for a true relationship builder and successful sales performer.

Marie was one of the best bosses I have ever had the pleasure of working for. To this day, I tell people stories of the compassionate and caring atmosphere that Marie engendered at Carlos and Maria's. I wish there were more owners and managers who ruled with a strong hand and a caring attitude like Marie did. Thank you, Marie!
