How she shines: As a Housekeeping Manager, I bring over 15 years of experience in the cleaning industry, beginning with my father's commercial cleaning business and expanding into leadership roles within school districts, Walmart AMP, and the Walton Arts Center. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to maintaining clean, safe, and welcoming environments for employees, customers, students, educators, and patrons.
I believe effective leadership starts with leading by example. I hold myself to the same high standards I expect from my team and work alongside them to ensure goals are met. By fostering accountability, teamwork, and mutual respect, I help create a positive work environment where employees feel valued and empowered to succeed.
My passion for cleanliness goes beyond the workplace. As a wife, mother of a four-year-old daughter, and guardian to my nephew for the past five years, I understand the importance of providing safe and healthy environments for families and communities. These responsibilities have strengthened my compassion, resilience, and commitment to serving others.
Cleaning is more than a career for me; it is a lifelong passion. I take pride in the impact my team and I make every day, and I am dedicated to developing others, maintaining high standards, and contributing positively to the communities we serve.
Years in the industry: 15 years
Job responsibilities: I am the facilities housekeeping manager at the Walton Arts Center and the Walmart AMP. I have a team that cleans before, during, and after events. We provide services for clients for weddings, concerts, and theatre performances. My team also provides setup services and overall cleaning and maintenance of both venues.
Career path: Working my way up the ladder in my family business fostered a desire to help my community. Working in the school district was a perfect fit for me. I worked in schools for eight years, and then an opportunity came up in the entertainment world. As an avid concert and theatre-goer, this job fits me perfectly, and I hold the same standards I learned from my father's business.
Best advice received: The best advice I was given is that a clean space reflects the people who care for it. The first thing visitors notice is how well a place is maintained, and knowing that my team’s efforts contribute to that positive first impression makes our work meaningful and rewarding.
Fun fact: I love to travel the country for concerts and festivals.
