Responsible, organized, commitment.
4. What was a challenge she faced while working, and how did she overcome it?
A challenge Maria has faced while working is communicating with clients in a language that isn't native to her. She has overcome this challenge by doing her best to answer emails and being involved in our monthly irrigation meetings.
5. Tell a quick story of one of her best moments.
One of Marias best moments was when we first started at the Evermore Resort. We worked for a month trying to figure out the property shut off valves when we had a major mainline break. Maria and I thought we had all figured it out until a stuck valve occurred at 7: 00 P.M at night and she went over to shut off all gate valves and we still had water flowing. As a team leader she stuck it out and figured it out all by herself. Maria is a person that does not give up easily. From Maria's dedication and hard work it has helped CEPRA Landscape gain the confidence of our new client because it showed that CEPRA cares and will go the extra mile.
Questions for the Employee
1. What has been your favorite Project Property that you been involved with?
I have assumed each assigned property as a challenge and my greatest satisfaction is to ensure that irrigation works at its best level, making sure to take care of every detail. Evermore has been a great challenge for me, due to the magnitude and importance of the property and the customer's demand, coupled with the use of a high-tech system, which has led me to instruct myself to achieve more effective management. Undoubtedly Evermore has allowed me to expand my knowledge in the field of irrigation every day.
2. What do you like most about working at CEPRA Landscape?
I like working at CEPRA because it is an organized company that values and cares about the well-being and safety of all its workers. I am pleased to see the progressive growth that the company has had, based on the acronym of its name.
3. What is something most people do not know about you?
Something that most do not know about me, is that I graduated in 2002 in Venezuela as a lawyer with a master's degree in labor law, and in this country, I had to reinvent myself and discover another passion, such as irrigation.
