Listening and learning are Marisa's top priorities because those are the skills required to solve - and prevent - most problems. She prides herself on being able to communicate an aggregate of perspectives, as well as the solutions she see as the best-fit based on more than 20 years in the Contract Furniture Industry, including 10 years in Corporate Learning & Development. Marisa is not afraid to take on challenges, learn new skills, or in general just put herself out there in order to grow and succeed, while consistently being a calm force that makes sure the job gets done.
