Detail: Spending each day managing our lively shop in Boston’s buzzing financial district is a delight. Our energetic team brings exquisite product to a thriving community—offering a beautiful retreat and resource for our busy professional crowd. In fact, I will always remember walking into our shop for the first time. After moving from a small town in Vermont to Boston in 2009, I studied fashion merchandising and retail at Lasell College in Newton, MA. My career in management began with an exciting role at a high end women’s clothing retailer, where I discovered my love for customer service. When I first stepped in to Winston Flowers, I was blown away by their incredible staff and beautiful merchandise, and knew I was meant to work here. I love being part of such a creative company where I can work closely with our clients, hearing their personal stories and experiences—and helping them select the perfect flowers for their occasions.

Detail: As Director of Retail, I oversee all seven of our retail shops in Massachusetts and Connecticut. I’m also happy to be the Store Manager for Winston Flowers Chestnut Hill. At our flagship location in the heart of Newton, we are privileged to be a longstanding staple of the community, sharing in generations of our clients’ biggest and best life moments. For me, managing our shops means that every day brings new and exciting opportunities to lift a mood, incite a memory or bring a smile to someone's face. This location is special because it is home to our garden nurseries, beautiful year-round greenhouses and display gardens. I share Winston Flowers’ passion for offering the finest product available, presenting it in a creative way that changes with the seasons, and making the client experience truly memorable. One of my favorite parts of the job is identifying talented individuals who feel the same way and developing them into future managers and leaders.

Detail: Prior to working with Winston Flowers, I worked in the travel and hotel industry for over 10 years in numerous countries, including: the Cayman Islands, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. In 2013, I decided to move to Connecticut to pursue a career in the luxury hotel business, shortly realizing that Winston Flowers is where I truly belong: not only is the quality of product excellent and exclusive, but the origin significant too—our clients receive fair-trade products directly from the farms of our growers. Our Greenwich store is unique in that in addition to filling customer retail orders, we also have our own design studio where we create beautiful designs for events, weddings and corporate dinners. Clients know they can count on our Greenwich shop for fantastic arrangements, genuine customer service and an experience they will truly love.
