(Nashville, TN) -- A new business has come to town, and it will make home improvement, specifically flooring, a one stop-shop process. No more long waits at Big Box stores. Floor Coverings International is the No. 1 flooring brand in North America and it has revolutionized the way people buy floors.

“I moved to Nashville to pursue my education, earning an undergraduate degree in accounting from Belmont University, followed by a master’s degree from Vanderbilt University. My career began at Deloitte and continued with a Nashville-based healthcare company, where I have gained foundational experience in finance, strategic analysis, and business development. Throughout my career, I’ve developed a strong sense of purpose around building value and delivering quality, which inspired me to launch Floor Coverings International of Metro Nashville, TN. I am excited to apply my background to a business that creates spaces where individuals and families can relax, gather, and make memories together. My background in finance and business development has instilled a commitment to quality and a client-centered approach, both of which are crucial in building a successful, customer-focused business.
