MEET VALERIE MARINO
Sales
Val has worked in the jewelry industry for 35 years, 11 of them at Roper’s Jewelers. But, there’s so much more to Val than jewelry sales. Among her accomplishments she lists being a member of the Granville Island Players, attending McGill University and she played Paul in a Beatles cover band.
Val’s favorite part of working in jewelry is when she gets to assist a client in repurposing a sentimental piece of jewelry, and sharing their joy with them. As for her own favorite piece of jewelry, that’s easy: her mum’s wedding ring.
What the bosses say about her:
Val is fabulous at listening to clients and guiding them to the jewelry that will fit their needs and make their dreams come true. She brings such energy to the sales floor that sometimes we can’t help but stop what we’re doing and listen to her work.
