The Team that Keeps MAC Clean
M
AC’s Housekeeping is a global team, hailing from countries including Korea, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Somalia, Nepal, Ireland, Panama and the United States. “With such a diverse crew, from homelands to personalities, each day is a fun new adventure,” says Assistant Housekeeping Manager Jackie Sanchez, who has been working with the team since October. Adds Housekeeping Manager Elaine O’Flynn, “The diversity of our department adds depth and interest to everything we do. If we aren’t playing with language we’re often found laughing at the idiosyncrasy of our cultures. Every day I learn something new. It’s my privilege to work with this team.” Learn more about some of the team’s amazing members and how they spend their time, both at work and after they clock out.
Nassira Munyabuliza I’m from East Africa; Kigali, Rwanda, and I started working at MAC in 2002. I feel proud when I finish my hard work well and members and staff notice. My favorite part is when my teammates are working together and making sure the job is done well and on time. When I’m not working I like to spend time with my girls by teaching them my culture and telling them about my Rwandan history. Fun fact: I’m a representative of the Rwandan Women’s Community in Oregon.
Mohamed Yaslam I’m from Mogadishu, Somalia. I started working at MAC in February 2014. I like knowing my work makes a difference. I can see how much cleaner the carpets are when I’m finished. My favorite thing is using the auto-scrubbing machine. When I’m not working, I like to play with my kids. Fun facts: I have a brother in Ohio, a brother in Dubai and sisters in Norway and Yemen.
