Originally from Baltimore, Gloria had a successful career in the auto industry. After going through a career change, she became a State Certified General Contractor in Florida in 2004. Since then she had the opportunity to run hundreds of permitted remodels. She was the showroom manager for Boca Kitchens & Baths for 14 years where she had to oversee almost every aspect of the business in addition to managing designers and the various trades. The showroom doubled in size during those years and the projects became bigger and more involved.
Thanks to Gloria, Boca kitchens can offer to their clients a one stop shop concept, where design, products, construction and project management, are all under one roof.
Today she is the co-owner of Boca Kitchens & Baths and the General Contractor of the company. Being a woman in a man’s world, she brings a balance to each and every project. She is compassionate when needed and tough when necessary.
