“The most important task that I have as a project coordinator is to listen to my clients and give them the information they need to make well-informed decisions regarding their project. The best compliment that I can receive from my client at the completion of a job is when they tell me they would not change a thing. To come full circle on one’s career path can be disappointing. But for me, working as a project coordinator at Neal’s was like coming home. It was a natural fit. I truly enjoy working with my clients and exploring their wants and needs. Remodeling your home is a major decision. My job is to make it as pleasurable an experience as possible.”
