Kind, genuine, and sincere; those are all words used in nominations for RiverView’s latest Employee of the Month (EOM), Diana Padilla-Jimenez. Diana then took those words and many others to write a page of thank you notes to everyone who helped her along the way, once again proving why she makes a great EOM.
After starting at RiverView seven years ago as an Environmental Services aide, today, Diana is a Supply Chain tech. A native of Chicago, IL, Diana, and her family live in Beltrami. She and her husband Miguel have been together for 28 years. Miguel works as a house person in RiverView’s Environmental Services Department. They have two sons, Miguel Jr. (25), a registered volunteer at RiverView, and Jacob (23). Diana counts her spiritual family from Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witness in Crookston and around the world as part of her “humongous” family. She lists Best Life Ever at JW.ORG as her interests/hobbies.
The following is just a portion of those she’d like to thank for her recent honor: “First, I want to thank the one that deserves all the honor, Jehovah God. Second, with all my heart, I want to say thank you to my grandmother Diana for striving to work hard each and every day and leading by example spiritually by helping me with principles, moral guidance, to seek, love, respect, apply, and listen to the discipline that Jehovah God gives us all. Third, to always love our neighbors. Fourth, I feel humble and want to give a big thank you and hug to Mario (Gomez, director of Supply Chain), an awesome boss, and Annie (Waldal, director of IPU and ED), a remarkable person, for nominating me…Thank you to all my team in Supply Chain for welcoming me into your department with arms wide open. I want to thank my whole RiverView work family for always showing me your love, kindness, care, warm smiles, help, and for everything. We all have accomplished so much together.”
