I'm grateful that JWilliams Staffing sent her our way!”

She has such a positive attitude and gratitude for the customers that we interact with each day. It is evident in the way she professionally handles each customer as if they were a guest in her own home. She sells from the heart and that is difficult to teach someone and must be an innate skill. I am very much a type A personality and want to interact with every customer. I am able to trust Stephanie to fill my shoes so I may take a couple of days off to recharge. She is truly a blessing to me.”
