Humans of Steel Supply: Andrea Torres

Meet Andrea Torres

Andrea joined the Steel Supply team on July 1st of last year, and she's quickly made her mark. Her journey here is a great example of the power of personal connections—she came to us through a referral from her best friend's father, a long-time employee at our Northwest location. 

From Finance to Sales Assistant

Andrea's journey began in finance, but her strong performance led to a swift promotion to the role of Sales Assistant. From day one, she's embraced the company culture with energy and positivity. Her mornings begin with a mindful habit: she leaves any non-work concerns at the door and starts her day by greeting everyone with a smile. That genuine cheerfulness hasn't gone unnoticed—it's become a signature trait around the office.

Empowering the Team

In her day-to-day responsibilities, Andrea ensures that every salesperson has up-to-date sales numbers, helping them stay on track with their monthly goals. Beyond that, she supports the team with key tasks such as managing contracts and handling material test reports (MTRs). Her overall goal is simple yet impactful: make others' jobs easier. She often lightens the mood with laughter, skillfully navigating the diverse personalities of the workplace.

Andrea Finds Joy in Teamwork—and the Little Things That Matter

When asked what she enjoys most, Andrea highlights the supportive work environment and the spirit of collaboration among her colleagues. She also appreciates how Steel Supply looks after its people, mentioning thoughtful gestures like a company cookout and an ice cream treat to beat the summer heat.

Off the Clock

Outside the office, Andrea stays active and adventurous. She loves dancing, hitting the gym, and pushing herself to new limits. Her passion for the magical world of Harry Potter adds a whimsical touch to her otherwise high-energy lifestyle.

A Valued Part of the Team

Andrea's contributions make a clear difference—we're glad she's part of the team.
