2015 Automotive News 100 Leading Women

What attracted you to the auto industry? I was going to school to be a teacher. I ran afterschool programs for the YMCA and the Boys Club. CarMax, when it first started, had its own child care centers. You could shop for your car and drop your child off to play in the kids area. CarMax advertised in the newspaper for a child care coordinator, which is what I was doing at the YMCA. When I found out what the job was, I told them I’m going to school to be a teacher, I don’t really baby-sit. Then they told me about the company and said we have other great opportunities.I really had no intention of being in the car business when I was in college. And when I started with CarMax, I had no intention of being there 19 years later. I just happily ended up here.
