"I am extremely excited to have Alanna on board with Sportsheets," said Corrin Brubaker, international sales manager for Sportsheets.

Her strengths in developing strong relationships with customers and closing sales is a perfect fit for Sportsheets and our goals for expansion. Alanna's bubbly, energetic personality is wonderful and she is a joy to work with. She will most certainly be a major asset in our goal of ‘Keeping Couples Connected’.”
