Bio
Stefanie Taylor
During my time working with Rae, she was a team player, consummate professional, and excellent sales associate. Her managers and coworkers found her a delight to work with, and she could always be counted on to contribute to sales, reliably complete all tasks and duties, and maintain excellent communication. She never turned down an assignment or challenge. She was a great asset to our company and I am confident she will find success anywhere she goes!
PJ Krstic
Rae was a great asset to my Art gallery team. Her professionalism, work ethic and a positive attitude with a signature smile is truly something special. Hiring managers are happy to find a person with just one or two of those characteristics. Rae brought a lot to the table in terms of sales too as building rapport with clients was effortless for her, everyone liked her and everyone wanted to collect art with her. Although when I came on board she was already a part of the team and very skilled at what she was doing she exhibited desire to learn further, improve and advance. I wish Rae every success in her future business endeavors and to any prospective hiring manager - consider yourself fortunate if you have a chance of hiring her. I know I would do it again in a heartbeat!
