    I started working at Pine Belt in 2012. I attended Monmouth Regional High School. My Favorite subject was and still is History. I was a military child and lived around the globe for most of my life until I landed in NJ in 1999. I have 2 beautiful children ages 3 and 7, Judah and Estelle. They are my everything and make me proud everyday with their determination, smarts, and tenacity with life. My favorite hobbies include gaming, anime watching, and my obsession with overall world knowledge. Also, in my spare time, I collect graphic novels and comic issues. My favorite vehicle is the 2023 Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss.

    I have worked at Pine Belt since 2016. I went to Camden County College and studied General Studies. My favorite subject was English. I live in South Jersey and grew up in Toms River, New Jersey. I enjoy assisting our Pine Belt customers through the process of finding the perfect vehicle to meet their needs. Customer Service shouldn’t just be a department, it should be the entire company! Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten are words to live by in the workplace. If it is new, and AWD, I’ll take a look! So many to choose from!

    I have been working with Subaru for over two years. I started in the business development call center, where I acquired all my current knowledge for Subaru. After being a very successful BDC representative, I have decided to pursue a career as a sales professional. I believe I work for the safest and most reliable vehicle manufacturer in the market. Not only do I work for something I believe in, I am also a consumer myself. In my free time I enjoy spending quality time with my family and going on adventures. My goal as a salesperson is to provide a hassle free experience and make sure all my customers leave happy and satisfied. Buying a vehicle is the second largest purchase we make. I would like to make that purchase as easy and pleasant as possible.

    I started at Pine Belt Subaru as an Oil Change Technician back in 2020. I worked my way up to a Subaru Certified Technician. After a year in the main shop, I decided I’d give sales a shot and I haven’t looked back since! I went to Southern Regional High School and graduated from Toms River North High School. My favorite class was definitely Auto Shop. I’ve always loved anything to do with cars! Currently I live in Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey. Growing up, I’ve moved around a lot from Trenton NJ to Northern Kentucky and back to Toms River, NJ. In my free time if I’m not off-roading my truck or working on my cars, you’ll find I will be going for a hike or playing some video games. The Wrx has to be my favorite sports car and the Outback XT is my favorite SUV.
