This month, we are honored to highlight Rosalba Uriarte as our Employee of the Month. Over the past seven years, Rosalba has consistently excelled in every role she has undertaken, showcasing not only her versatility but also her deep sense of pride in her work.
Rosalba began her journey at FAMCO in a production role, gaining hands-on experience in areas such as CVR, lasers, and wall vents. Six months ago, she transitioned to the warehouse, where she now plays a vital role in packaging orders for both wholesale customers and individual parcel shipments. This transition was a testament to her adaptability and determination, as she seamlessly applied her production expertise to succeed in a new environment. Rosalba shares that she learned a lot in production, making the transition to warehouse easier. However, there was still a learning curve, but she enjoyed taking on the challenges of working in this new department.
Rosalba’s colleagues and supervisors have recognized her willingness to step up and support her team in any way needed. She has earned a reputation for her reliability and dedication, often going beyond her assigned tasks to ensure smooth operations. Her strong work ethic and team-oriented mindset were key factors in her selection as Employee of the Month. She says, “it’s not just about doing my job, it’s about helping the rest of the team succeed and I am willing to assist wherever I am needed”.
Throughout her career at FAMCO, Rosalba has faced and overcome challenges, particularly in the CVR department, where precision is crucial. Mastering the skill of ensuring parts meet exact specifications requires patience, persistence, and a commitment to quality. Rather than being deterred by the challenge, Rosalba embraced it, continuously refining her skills to uphold the company’s high standards.
“Making the perfect part is crucial, and if it’s not right, it can’t be used. I worked hard to learn the measurements and become proficient in making quality parts,” Rosalba shares.
Rosalba’s motivation stems from her drive to keep learning and growing within the company. She values the strong sense of community at FAMCO, where teamwork and mutual support create an environment where employees can thrive.
“FAMCO feels like family to me. It’s a place where I can continue to grow and truly feel at home,” she says.
When offering advice to new employees, Rosalba emphasizes the importance of safety. With her extensive experience working with machinery, she understands the risks involved and stresses the need for caution, adherence to safety protocols, and proper use of personal protective equipment.
“Safety comes first. It’s important to follow the guidelines and never become complacent around the machinery,” she advises.
Outside of her role at FAMCO, Rosalba is a busy individual. She is passionate about Aztec dance, a cultural tradition she upholds by performing in full costume. Additionally, Rosalba runs a side business where she rents out party equipment such as tables, chairs, and jump houses. As a dedicated mother of four, with two children still at home, she stays busy balancing her professional and personal responsibilities with remarkable efficiency.
Rosalba Uriarte’s unwavering dedication, strong work ethic, and positive attitude make her an invaluable member of the FAMCO team. Her ability to take on challenges with confidence and her commitment to supporting those around her set an inspiring example for all.
