Reception
Nita Mendoza
Director of First Impressions
Nita has been working with Sunshine Toyota for the past 9 years as a Receptionist/Accounting Assistant. She mainly deals with the 3 P’s – People, Phone and Papers. She spent most weekends with her 4 grandchildren – sidekicks (ages 5-8) doing fun activities in the park, playground, in her backyard or in the mall “just looking”. One of their treasured outing every year is when the five of them are piled together in her little car, foods and drinks in tow, heading out to Tinkertown every summer from opening till closing along with their other cousins. Another favourite activity for grandma and the gang is singing along in the karaoke player and it is always a blast. Once or twice a month, usually on a Saturday morning, grandma and the team can also be found in the library nearby.
