1. How long have you been a BAMA member?
I have been a member of BAMA since 2019 but did some volunteering with the organization before I became a member.
2. What do you like most about being a BAMA member?
My first interaction with BAMA was volunteering at the Golf Tournament. It was there that I know I was in the right place. The members were so fun and engaging! I have been volunteering now for the past 4 years and am now the Chair of the Membership Committee and I am currently on the Board of Directors.
3. Tell us about Roebuck Technologies?
Roebuck Technologies is an IT Consulting firm that works with businesses either as their IT department or as an extension to their IT department. We are locally owned and operated and have 6 local engineers that take care of our clients on site when needed. While we serve all business types we do a lot with manufacturers.
4. What do you consider your greatest accomplishment to date?
One of my biggest accomplishments I would say is staying in the same industry for 30 years and still service one of my first clients. I have always believed in relationship building in business development. We all do business with people we know like and trust. As an account manager I am always there to make sure my clients are taken care of.
5. What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from my mom who was a school teacher. She told me, don’t go a day without learning something new and, never be the smartest person in the room. I always keep those two things in mind. If you are not learning you are not growing.
6. What is the most important skill you have developed in your career?
I think the best skill I have learned throughout the years is to listen. Sometimes we like to talk, but you don’t learn that way. I think we have all heard that God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason!
7. What are your hobbies or interests?
Some of the things I like to do are listening to the great music of the 70’s and reading books while sitting on the beach! I also love taking day trips on the weekends to explore this beautiful area we live in and play tourist!
