Inside the Office with Jacquie Trigueros
|
Let’s take a look “Inside the Office” to learn more about our Logistics/Credit/Regulatory Specialist Jacquie Trigueros.
Jacquie joined Trans Western Chemicals in 2007 as a Customer Service Specialist and recently took on a new more focused role in Logistics/Credit/Regulatory. When asked how she likes her new responsibilities, she said “I will tell you it has its challenges, especially dealing with the port, but I really enjoy learning new things each day”.
Participating in fun work activities like going to baseball games, having book club meetings, dancing in our chairs to Bruno Mars, and of course the holiday celebrations are what make Trans Western a great place to work. But she said, “The thing I most enjoy about TWC is we are a family, we’re small, but MIGHTY. We’ve been through ups and downs together, but as a team we’ve always come out on top.”
Jacquie has fond memories of her childhood growing up in Northern California swimming in the creeks, playing hide and seek, and climbing in the redwood trees. She moved to the LA area when she was 15 shortly after her mother’s passing, and now resides in La Habra. She has two amazing kids, her son Brandon (27) and her daughter Cheyenne (22). Brandon owns a car detailing shop and has blessed Jacquie with two beautiful grandkids. Cheyenne is an EMT on site at CHOC hospital working on their transport team, with future aspirations of becoming a nurse. Jacquie loves being a grandmother to her two grandchildren Lil B (Brandon) and Ivory, and spends as much time as possible with them. And we can’t forget Luis, Jacquies “Cubano”, the man who holds her heart. She met Luis while working for Trans Western Chemicals, and they’ve been together for 4 years. They do have a fairly unique relationship in that he speaks very little English and she speaks very little Spanish, but as Jacquie would say “Love is a universal language”. Jacquie really enjoys decorating for the holidays both at work and at home. She even won 1
st prize in her apartment complex last year for the best Christmas Light Display.
We’re so thankful to have Jacquie as part of your TWC Family.
