Serena M. Kilsmith

Passionate, dedicated, ambitious and centered in a growth mindset.

I am a Passionate & Creative Professional…

“Whatever position I find myself in —as a long term professional or “hired-hand”, I give my full attention and effort to that mission — both physically and mentally.

I actually love to work. I take pride in my success and growth. I also enjoy helping others while they write their own success stories, and relish in being a part of a team working towards a common goal..

The history of my life and work deserves more detail than a one page one dimensional “Resume” or “CV”.

I am a multifaceted individual with wisdom and experience. My knowledge and unique skill set can make a difference wherever I work and for whomever I collaborate with.

I am an artist, an entrepreneur, a creative strategist… and a full time mother of three young children (ages 6 , 5 and 1.5 )

I have spent the last 6 years as a “Work-at-home-Mom”— sharpening my skills, managing a household, running my small business, while helping others grow and develop their own business strategies.

This Web-page is a full summary and overview of my attributes and the experience that I bring to the table. “ — S.M.K, August 2026

Employment History

Mark Smith Custom Contracting - 2001 to May 2013

My family’s Business — Commercial and Residential Tile and Flooring installation and Restoration

Beginning at the age of 12— I was expected play a role

n the family business.

At my mothers side, during tax season I learned about book keeping. We sorted and added up expenses. As I was learning about computers and software in school my parents often had me help with preparing invoices and estimates, creating marketing pamphlets, designing business cards etc.

My father was extremely busy, and often traveled far distances for work. Whenever he had projects going on closer to home, my mother would often bring us to help out on the job site. Cleaning up the worksite, taking measurements making cuts, pulling spacers and learning the basics of this trade.

When I was about 15 — I started to go on the road with my dad during school vacations and working on the commercial projects he often had going on . We completed many large jobs - gas stations and storefronts - we installed tens of thousands of square footage of tile.

When I was about 17 — once I acquired a drivers license I was given more responsibility to drive to locations along the east coast and manage a crew of 3-4 laborers.

At this time my father became a preferred contractor for Brinker international. Our main clientele were restaurant chains like Chilis, On the Border, Macaroni Grille etc.

We covered all of New England, New York, New Jersey, and as far South as Virginia and the Carolinas, restoring broken and missing quarry tile and refurbishing grout in these commercial kitchens. We worked 12 hour Shifts - 9 PM to 9 AM.

Until May of 2013 — I worked for my father’s business, whenever my school schedule allowed for it. This was a stipulation of being able to continuing living in my family home.

When I obtained my Associate’s degree, I left home and no longer worked for my father’s company.
