Memorable Quotes"We're always looking for new strategies, new techniques to grow better. It's not traditional anymore, and we have all the resources to help from the vendors, and we should do better every year.""My passion is looking at the numbers, looking at how the operations are growing. It's not about the dollar side, it's all about being in this age, mid 30s, to achieve something that you've always been looking for. And then we have this opportunity in this new industry, we should always cherish that.""I believe in customer service. I feel like if the person can communicate well and be able to deliver what the customer is asking for 100%, that I will enjoy the experience."Connect with Linzi
