How many years have you worked at Bove Jewelers?
12 years!

What is your position?
Sales Associate

What is your favorite part of working at Boves?
Helping the customers find that special gift. Spending time with customers. Getting to know my customers.

Do you have a favorite customer memory you'd like to share?
Well, not a big sale, but doing something special for a customer. A gentleman walked in with his wife's wedding band on his finger. He said he wanted to buy a new band for his wife. I said, how long has she been wearing this one? It was a wide gold band. He said, "52 years." I said, "Then that is the one she will want to wear!" I said we can polish it and make it look like new. So, that is what we did.

I never thought any more about it until a few months ago. His wife came in and was getting some repairs done. We began talking and she shared with me that she had lost the love of her life, that her husband had died. She said, "Do you remember the phrase, "That is the only one she will want to wear?" She was so grateful that I did that kind act that day and that she still had her original wedding band, all polished and looking like new and that I hadn't convinced her husband to buy a new one.

What do you do in your spare time?
I like spending time with my husband, visiting people, and attending church each Sunday morning. I love family time.

What is a fun fact about you?
I love to laugh!
