I started my career in the auto industry in 2001. I spent the first 6 years as a Product Advisor and since 2007 I have been in a management roll. Cars have always been a passion of mine and having worked in sales previously in the food industry my passion for dealing with customers also grew. I found that merging the two together was a perfect mix. Working here at Gorrud’s for the past 8 years has been a great learning experience and I find myself constantly growing as a professional in this industry. Hobbies include, cooking, listening to music and when I have time physical activities.

I visited Gorruds to purchase a used car as my old car had finally died. It was originally a Gorruds car as well. Other family members have purchased from this dealership and all had a great experience t had finally died. It was originally a Gorruds car as well. Other family members have purchased from this dealership and all had a great experience there. I was assisted by Kassandra who assisted me through the whole process including a test drive in a beautiful little 2006 Honda Civic. Kassandra was very knowledgeable and we had the deal signed sealed and delivered in the time frame I required. It was certainly a pleasure to work with Kassandra and the Gorruds team. I would definitely return anytime I need a vehicle and intend to send friends there too! Thank you Kassandra and Danny and the rest of the helpers! It was a perfect match! I named the car Grace! 😁 More
