"Brooke is a team player. She stayed after hours many evenings to get the
job done to help the company and the customers, never expecting overtime
pay. She brought in customers on her own time and did upselling whenever
possible. She came up with creative ideas to help us build our business.
We were blessed the day that she came in to apply for a job." - Jim and
