IEM Employee Stories and Testimonials

It’s not always about work with IEM, sometimes it is about family.  Since 2017, I set up Restore Louisiana Facilities, ran those facilities, assisted/ran other project facilities, met my now husband, got married, had 2 babies, and was promoted to manager.  The operations team, my work family, came together for me.  With the assistance of this team I was able to set up 4 facilities to be fully functional across the state of Louisiana in a little over a month.  With the assistance of this team I was also able to take time at home after the birth of each of my children.  I could not do my job effectively and raise my children while working full time without the assistance of others.  I am thankful every day I have had the opportunity to call IEM family.” —Sara Kapp

Working for IEM Puerto Rico has been a once in a lifetime experience. The work we do is an astonishing achievement. Working for the Disaster Recovery in Puerto Rico has been fulfilling on so many levels. We experience different natural disasters throughout our lives, however, if we have not endured personal loss, we are clueless on the severity and devastation caused by these disasters that impact us around the world.

At times, it can be a roller coaster of mixed emotions, from fulfillment and satisfaction to sadness and heartbreak. Our main objective has been to aid the people of Puerto Rico who were impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017 and provide them with a secure and safe home. Our primary focus is the elderly who have worked their whole lives to make a home for themselves only to have it destroyed by a natural disaster. It is truly heartrending to listen to them describe the horror these victims went through and how they managed to remain resilient in the aftermath of these disasters. It has been satisfying to be able to contribute to the community, even in small ways and bring back that spark of hope. I will be eternally grateful to IEM to have been given the opportunity to be part of something so rewarding.

The Staff at IEM are one of a kind and are amazing individuals that treat their employees with the utmost respect. They show their appreciation daily, whether it is a party to celebrate our milestones, gift cards, treats or even something as simple as a message saying, “Great Job”. The staff at IEM motivate us to work hard, grow professionally and be innovative thinkers. They are considerate and make sure their employees are healthy whether it is physically, mentally, and/or emotionally. It is with great pride and honor that I can say I work for IEM.” —Melissa Collado

When I first heard Mrs. Kelly Marcotte said that I was hired, and confirmed my new salary, it was a Jaw dropping moment. I didn’t want her to think I was having a seizure, so I said: “sorry, I can’t stop smiling”. That’s how my career as IEMer began on September 2018 as an Intake Specialist for the Rebuild Florida program.

A week after I got comfortable enough to forget about my heavy Spanish accent, I volunteered to work with the Mobile Unit. Working was never more fun; I was super energetic! I read my new duties so many times, I could do a solo recital with the SOP!

Around the third day of my job in paradise, I received a call, I was been promoted to Intake Center Manager. By that time my jaw was already adjusting to IEM greatness, I knew that I needed to work hard and to keep committed to the company’s goals in order to have a successful career.

I worked alongside a very supportive team. I mastered my position and kept looking at the career horizons for new adventure. Eventually, in July 2019, I transitioned to Puerto Rico to join Jared Jakubowski’s team. I got to manage not only two intake centers but also the Property Appraisals Quality Control Team. To keep myself focused, I even created my own mantra. “I’m a superhero, I am IEM”.

I learned a great deal of what working hard means… oh boy!  Jared tested my capacity to work as never before. I learned to place the people we serve and those who count on us first.  I learned that I was a Disaster Recovery Warrior! Any mission had to be accomplished to perfection!

In March 2020…. my superhero cape flew me back to Florida as a Single-Family Housing Manager, to reencounter my “old” friends, my family and my home.  Rebuild Florida’s welcome came with COVID-19 and a new challenge – teleworking. We are successfully battling and conquering, as we will for any other task that will possibly come our way.

Work hard good fellas!!! It pays!!!” —Nadienka Sanz
