Dashia has been with Grove since the end of summer, but we’re pumped to finally introduce her here on the blog. We’ve been so happy to have her as a member of team Grove! She’s such a sweet and positive presence here at the studio.

Her role at Grove is production assistant. Dashia works with her hands to finish and perfect each case in the woodshop. An iPad Mini fanatic, she’s stoked to be working on the new iPad cases. As you can see, Dashia also put her all into dressing up for Halloween this year, when she channelled a butterfly to match her rad tattoos.

Outside of work, Dashia is a loving mother of two, a runner and basketball fan, and a talented crocheter of scarves. She also loves to build just about anything from bookshelves to skyscrapers. Her life revolves around her mini-me’s, son Taishawn, 15 years old, and little daughter Camellia, 16 months old. Camellia never leaves Mom’s side around the house, and, at barely 1 1/2 years old, can already say just about anything Dashia can say. She loves to talk and even has her favorite books memorized to read aloud!

Dashia is the ultimate team mom for teenage Taishawn. She NEVER misses a basketball game and always excitedly gathers up gear in the team colors for her and Camellia to wear when they cheer in the stands. Taishawn may be a little embarrassed to have the loudest cheer section, but his cheerleaders shout it out anyway!

When she’s not on duty as team mom, Dashia is looking forward to going to the movies (at least once every other weekend for sure) or going for runs with her fiance Demetric. She’s a previous half-marathon runner that loves to keep up with her swift sweetheart. And, during downtime at home, it’s all about working on the hats and scarves she’s passionate about crocheting.

The most important things to Dashia are all the little moments in each day where you learn something new - that and family. Family is always first for her, and we’re so happy to have her in our Grove family!

Yay for Dashia!
