My name is Tiffany Awischus and I am a Territory Account Manager for Smalley & Company. Smalley & Company carries sealants, waterproofing, air & vapor barriers, EIFS & stucco, wall coatings, continuous insulation, fire protection and concrete restoration solutions.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from UCI in 2010; 3 of those years were spent being an undergrad researcher in Professor Eric Potma’s lab. Shortly after graduating, I started my career in the construction business with Custom working in their R&D lab formulating adhesives, benchmarking competition, and qualifying products through ISO, ANSI and ASTM test standards. I was then offered an opportunity with a competitor, Parex USA, as their R&D Manager. In this role, our team focused on launching new and innovative flooring solutions, investigating quality issues, attending trade shows, and providing updates to the executive management team. Parex USA promoted me internally to a marketing position as Product Manager. I managed multiple brands and launched various products in both the commercial and residential markets exceeding the company’s KPIs for the facade and flooring brands. From marketing, I then took an opportunity in sales with T&M Supply as an A&D Sales consultant promoting hard surface solutions (terrazzo flooring, epoxy resinous flooring, and quartz countertops. I drove sales through specifications and customer relationships. I have also worked for Armstrong Flooring as a Market Sales Manager. Currently, I work in sales for Smalley & Company.
