Bill Watkins   I am a co-founder and co-owner of the marena group along with my precious wife, vera. but, that does not tell you what I do every day to contribute to the company. What I have to do at work (lots of boring stuff sometimes) and what I like to do at work(bunch of fun and interesting stuff) are different. What I like to do is talk to customers, strategic planning and research and development. When I talk to customers, it could be to welcome them as new buyers, it could be to listen to a comment, suggestion or new product (and sometimes a complaint), it could be because we think they might have stopped buying from us and it could be to help them decide if they would want to start buying from us. Strategic planning is when we paint a picture of where we want to get to as a company and how we would get there. I am always thinking far in the future…which keeps me from being connected to what is going on today….which is sometimes not too good on my part! Lastly, I love working on new stuff. It could be the next development in our fabric, a new product line or something new on our production floor. Without a doubt, talking to customers is what I like the best but new developments is the most fun. I wont talk about all the boring stuff but you can imagine that running a company sometimes (more than I would like) requires me to do administrative sort of stuff that I wish I could ignore….but can’t as I am often reminded by our staff (who are really good at what they do).   Get to know me a little better --> visit my website

	Ara Armas - Team Leader   Hello friend. I have been with Marena since Sept. 2007, when I moved down to Atlanta from New Jersey. My calling in life and my absolute passion is helping people. I was a customer care manager for over 15 years in New Jersey, and I found my sweet spot in Marena, managing a group of the most talented and caring customer advocates I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I count every day as a blessing and am here to do all in my power to assist you.
	April Miele, LPN   I’ve been a nurse for 10 years. I enjoy spending time with my children and playing softball.
	Azra Muftc   One of the first things Vera Watkins asked me when we first met was if I liked to dance, and that immediately sparked an even greater interest in The Marena Group for me.  I realized that this company is so different from most others out there, and that is due to the wonderful people who work here.  I graduated with a Bachelor's degree from Georgia State University, and I joined the team at Marena in September of 2008.  When I am not at Marena, I spend my time taking care of my dog and my fiance (not that they're on the same level)!  They always put a smile on my face.
	Jessica Nelson   I am a recent graduate of the University of Georgia and a native to metro Atlanta.  During my 1 year + at Marena, I’ve been happy to work in the areas of customer advocacy as well as website design, sales, event planning, and accounting.  My specialty is working with patients, nurses and doctors to find the best garment for their needs.  Outside of Marena, I enjoy spending time with my dog Riley, making jewelry, and dancing.
	Kate Gonyayeva   I was born in Odessa, Ukraine and moved to United States when I was thirteen years old. Currently I am a junior at Georgia State University, pursuing a career in political science, hoping one day to become a lawyer. Working at Marena has allowed me to become part of a great team and a wonderful family, which specializes in outstanding customer support and service. I appreciate and value your business and am pleased to help you with any questions or concerns you may have.
