Before joining Bender, Michele worked for a company that manufactured specialty architectural products globally. While employed there, she had various roles, starting with customer service, then an account specialist, then a trade compliance specialist.
At Bender, Michele is responsible for most of the export shipments that leave our facility. In addition, her other responsibilities include entering medical, industrial, and service orders, making revisions to orders as needed, printing pick tickets to ship orders, assisting customers with their questions and needs, and invoicing orders. Her favorite part of her position is how different each day is - it's not repetitive, and she has new challenges and projects every day.
What she likes about Bender is working for a family-owned business with people who care. She says, "Everyone works well together, and I appreciate that when you have a question or issue, someone is there to reach out and help resolve the issue."
In her free time, Michele enjoys spending time with her husband and two kids (ages nine and eleven). Every night after work, she is either at the soccer field or baseball field watching her kids play. She loves vacationing at her family's cabin, riding ATVs, socializing with family and friends, and enjoying being in the mountains.
Her favorite Bender product is the MIP Panels that we manufacture out of our Exton office. She is still learning a lot about the different products Bender offers. The product she is most familiar with now is the IPPs, which is a product she had no experience with prior to Bender so she enjoys learning as she goes.
