"The word SERVICE at HBM really means something to the communities we serve, and to me personally, it means everything!"
At HBM our passion is to help the people who help others. I started working at a young age for my uncle during summertime doing janitorial, carpet cleaning and light maintenance at a large resort. At age 18, I landed an entry level job at a nationwide service organization. As a result, the organization, I worked for helped me expand my education to the highest levels of operations, building engineering, landscaping, lighting and security. With my job and educational experience maxed out I found there was a need within the operations management system that was not being addressed. That is when HBM was formed.
Partnering with schools small and large I found I could serve the people and communities that really mattered to me the most. I am excited about the talent of people who have joined HBM. I am also humbled by the great people who work here. All of the HBM staff, client partners, service partners and friends are the vehicle that makes this the company what it is today.
My career in Human Resources has given me the opportunity to work in different industries, including finance, technology, healthcare, and now facilities management. One thing I've learned that is pretty constant is that, if you surround yourself with people that have different ideas, backgrounds, and experiences, you will be constantly learning. As the Director of People Operations, I am responsible for ensuring that our company provides a culture of inclusion that supports our staff while keeping with our philosophy of providing the best service. I look forward to continuing to learn from the talent that we have at HBM.
I pursued a career in healthcare and worked in that field for about a decade, inspired by my interest in helping others. Towards the end of my time there, I started exploring finance on the side of our family business. At first, this was necessary, as we needed help finding finance experts who could truly serve our clients and employees. However, I soon discovered that I enjoyed working with numbers. I wanted to know how many people I could help by doing finance for our company. Fast forward a decade, and we have served hundreds of people, representing thousands of children on a daily basis. I am immensely proud of our staff, who have become like family, and the growth of individuals within our company.
With over thirty years of experience in custodial operations, I have successfully managed and maintained large commercial, retail, and educational facilities. My expertise lies in floor care, optimizing custodial processes, and fostering team collaboration. However, my true passion lies in empowering our team members to grow and excel in their careers within our company.
I grew up watching my father build HBM and had the privilege of getting to know many leading facilities industry experts. This gave me the unique opportunity to gain a comprehensive knowledge of facilities management and client relations. From a young age, I wanted to help clients with their needs at any time, whether it meant getting hands-on and supporting our team in the field or creating action plans on-site. Being welcomed into many communities throughout my life has been a blessing, and I look forward to learning more everywhere I go.
