My favorite Hobby? Live music. Not a specific genre. When you feel the drum hit, feel it in your chest. You gain an extra heartbeat.
Unique thing about me? I'm unique. I beat to my own drum. I don't have an ounce of rhythm, but I do have what I think is a unique sense of humor.
My favorite part of working at Girlfriends? Helping ladies. I got in line twice for boobs instead of brains. I understand the difficulty of finding a bra that fits. I also understand what it takes when you're insecure about yourself asking someone to help. It's my job to create a comfortable and confident appointment.
If I could travel anywhere? Ireland and Italy.(Ireland especially) The history of the people. The craic of it all.
Meghann Carreon
Meghann has a gift of empathy and a love of humans. She has been with Girlfriends for 14 years and spends her days balancing between managing the store and working with customers. We're so lucky to have Meghann on our team!
Favorite Part About Working At Girlfriends? Where do I begin? The first word that came to mind was Rewarding. This job is gratifying. I am passionate about helping people and helping women look and feel their absolute best-whether it is for a special occasion or simply every day; it all starts with a good foundation. I have to add how much fun we have here, too. At Girlfriends, we want our customers to feel comfortable telling us their wants and needs and have fun while shopping in our store. Oh, the stories!
What makes me unique? My genuine ability to empathize with people and relate to them personally. Working at Girlfriends, I have met many amazing women with different needs. I aim to establish trust and build a relationship so I can provide the best service possible and our customers leave here feeling confident in themselves, our products, and me.
