Meet the team
Mindy
As an assistant manager, you’ll find me doing the same thing, but something different every day, from managing the installation schedule, tracking inventory, and keeping our team’s tasks on schedule. Another important aspect of my job is getting involved with all the little day-to-day operations that keep the company growing and serving you. I have a background in a variety of industries with office management and acting as a liaison between departments. This gave me an appreciation for how companies operate similarly and differently across various businesses. This allowed me to advance in my overall career and professional skills. What I appreciate most about working at Modern Carpet and Flooring is that I consider the owner not just a boss, but a mentor. She harnessed my skills early on and has greatly contributed to my professional growth which led me into an operations role; something I never knew that I would love. Every day brings something new and different from working with our team to working with all the intricacies of the business. This keeps me on my toes and always intrigued and engaged for what’s next. I really enjoy the opportunity to not only utilize all my skills, but also develop new ones. In my free time you can find me playing the same music on repeat, reading and volunteering with friends. You can also find me attending another themed party with my crazy family, where the adults still participate in the kid’s games, whether we wanted to or not.

I’m a 2nd generation wood flooring professional from southern Maine and a NWFA (National Wood Flooring Association) certified installer, sander, and refinisher. Attending the NWFA’s hands on and in-depth courses, as well as completing their extensive testing in St. Louis Missouri, has been one of the greatest experiences of my career. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in pursuing a career in the flooring industry to attend any of their nationwide schools as well as online courses. Growing up in Maine with an artist for a mom, and a hardwood refinisher for a dad greatly contributed to my passion for discussing flooring design and finding the right flooring to bring comfort, function, and beauty to each of my customer’s home. I truly enjoy the exploration and discovery process of finding customers their perfect fit for style and needs. Whether it’s high fashion or updating a simple bedroom, our showroom has something for everyone, which made the transition into my sales role smooth. Working at Modern Carpet and Flooring has been a breath of fresh air and has taught me a lot about the flooring sales process. The owners here are one of the kind genuine folks that take the time to listen and are always giving back to their employees, creating a real team-oriented environment. In my free time I enjoy playing disc golf, karaoke, and performing at a local theatre. I also enjoy refinishing wood products and in home design consulting work where I get to help others while also perfecting my craft.

I may be a sales representative, but customer service is more how I visualize myself. At the young age of 13, I had the opportunity to be a peer educator in the public health sector. I was recognized by my passion and eagerness to help, so much so, that I was awarded the customer service of the year for New York State by the County Executor. You can find me working with our clients to educate them about their best options, without compromising on their style. Customer acquisition is something that I have always enjoyed. So many customers don’t always know where to turn, so building upon our brand and getting our name out there makes for a wonderfully diverse clientele. It’s exciting to know that today you may be working on a large commercial project with multiple buildings over the next several months, to finding that perfect flooring for someone’s first home. I also create social media content to keep the customers inspired for their upcoming projects and up to date with current trends. I consider myself to be passionate and creative and working at Modern Carpet and Flooring allows me the flexibility to bring all my skills to the table. I guess you could say that’s my favorite part about working here, I get to experience all the things that I love while at work. It’s not just the piping hot cup of joe in my hand that energizes me to be here, it’s the fact that I can be completely myself with my extended family. When I am not working, you can find me binge watching Big Brother or teaching my toddler to play soccer. I also enjoy designing t-shirts and traveling around the country. I hope to be able to bring my son to all the states one day, so I can extend my experiences to him.
