At JMS, we make it our mission to get to know our customers so we can help find the best possible product for their needs. We find out so much about the folks who come in to the stores, and we wanted to make sure our customers can get to know our staff as well. This month we are spotlighting our Woodland store manager, Zaira Martinez.
Meet the Staff –

Woodland Store Manager; I am responsible for making sure the store operates as successfully as possible.

How to have patience for all kinds of tricky situations. There’s always time to figure out a solution.

What do you like to do when you aren’t working?
Go hiking and going on walks.

If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
Telekinesis. The idea of moving things and getting a lot with little physical effort sounds like my kind of thing. (Think of all of the lift chair rearranging!)
