MEET MARLA: THE OFFICE MOM!
SOMETHING TO KNOW ABOUT MARLA
Marla, FDG’s Accounts Payable Accountant, made her debut at Faulkner Design Group in 2015 with a vibrancy and passion for life that is still felt throughout the office today. Echoing laughter, the aroma of freshly popped popcorn, and the humming tune of Justin Bieber’s “Yummy” are all indicators that Marla is not too far away, ready to bring joy and guidance to the team.
“It doesn’t matter what kind of day I’m having, I can always count on Marla for a good laugh!”
- Brie, Senior Project Accountant
A friend in a room full of strangers, Marla prides herself on her incredible relationships with Christ, her children, and her team. As a Dallas native and long-time FDG team member, Marla knows all the ins and outs of the area, the office, and the FDG aquarium. Her general radiance and overall knowledge makes her the team go-to when in need of a laugh or when questions arise regarding the office or our fishy family, and has dubbed her “The Office Mom”.
