In celebration of Hispanic & Latino\u00a0Heritage Month, we\u2019re sharing a series of sixty-second interviews from our Hispanic & Latinx Leaders, all across the Envoy operation, who have been a large part of growing the company from the days of American Eagle.<\/p>\n
For this installment, we hear from Flight Service Regional Manager Jomarie Toro<\/strong>, who manages our flight attendant training department at our headquarters in Irving, Texas.<\/p>\n When did you get your start in aviation, and what was your first position?<\/strong><\/p>\n I started in 2000, and worked in San Juan Airport (SJU) as a Support Agent in the\u00a0Wheelchair and\u00a0Unaccompanied Minor department.<\/p>\n What did you learn then that you believe has helped you achieve the position you\u2019re in now? <\/strong><\/p>\n I learned to work in a fast-paced, changing environment, and that everyone is different but an important piece in the big puzzle. Also, that taking care of our employees is crucial for the success of\u00a0our business.<\/p>\n What does it mean to you to celebrate our Hispanic & Latinx heroes, historical figures, pioneers and visionaries during this annual, national recognition? <\/strong><\/p>\n I feel a lot of pride when I see my beautiful flag. It makes me really proud to see how many successful Hispanic leaders we have.<\/p>\n With Envoy\/American Eagle\u2019s history in Puerto Rico and current operations and relationships in Mexico, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean, why is it important to you that we\u2019re a company made up of so many diverse backgrounds?<\/strong><\/p>\n Diversity is crucial and important to our success as a company. It’s important to me to be accepting and respectful\u00a0of our co-workers’ values\u00a0while embracing their culture.<\/p>\n Tell us one \u201cFun Fact\u201d about you that many people might not know!<\/strong><\/p>\n I can\u2019t ever get the lyrics of a song right, so I typically come up with my own\u00a0that rhyme (especially English songs)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In celebration of Hispanic & Latino\u00a0Heritage Month, we\u2019re sharing a series of sixty-second interviews from our Hispanic & Latinx Leaders, all across the Envoy operation, who have been a large part of growing the company from the days of American Eagle.
