Irene has been holding down the fort since the supervisor retired in the Automotive division earlier this year. She is responsive and continues to provide exceptional customer service during the pandemic. She strives to fulfill customer needs to the best of her ability to ensure operations run accordingly despite being understaffed. Thank you, Irene, for the dedicated customer service you provide to Facilities Management and other departments across campus. You are appreciated!– Nominated by Acacia Chavez (FM Administration)
