Last March, we celebrated 25 years with Zini at McLean & Dickey — and in 2026, she officially marks 26 incredible years as a valued member of our team.

Zini is the first face you see when you walk through the doors at McLean & Dickey, and her warm, welcoming presence is a huge part of what makes this place so special.

We asked Zini what helps her show up every day with the same positive energy after all this time, and her answer was simple: “The people.”

“From the very beginning, I’ve always felt supported by the team around me. I loved my role when I first started, and I still love it today. The owners have always treated me with kindness and respect. I’ve stayed all these years because of the work family I have here. It’s truly special, and I feel very blessed.”

Thank you, Zini, for 26 years of kindness, loyalty, and heart. McLean & Dickey wouldn’t be the same without you.
