Success Stories, UG2 in Action

Promoting From Within: Imelda Martinez Hernández

By Kathleen Luce

Success Achieved by Working Hard and Making a Positive Impact

Imelda Martínez Hernández’s hard work, generous support for her peers, cheerful demeanor and stellar reputation with customers have propelled her up the professional ladder at UG2 since she first joined the company in June 2021.

After starting with UG2 as a night custodian, Imelda earned promotions to night lead and day site lead before her most recent advancement to site supervisor.

Imelda takes tremendous pride in her work and loves helping her team succeed. Our customers have frequently expressed their deep appreciation for her, and West Coast Regional Operations Manager Alex Romano shares their gratitude for Imelda’s contributions.

“I was really happy to be able to offer Imelda this position,” said Alex. “It’s rewarding to see someone grow into a role where you know they will have a positive impact for customers and for our teams.”

Imelda was thrilled to accept the promotion and cannot wait to take on the challenge of her new responsibilities. She hopes her fellow employees working on the front lines in this challenging time are motivated by her story, and that it helps them dream big— because, as she says, “Anything is possible!”

Imelda lives in San Diego, and when she’s not busy providing above-and-beyond service to every UG2 customer she encounters, she loves spending time with her close-knit family.

When she looks ahead to her future with UG2, she is most excited about helping and supporting the up-and-coming generation of UG2 employees, and witnessing how they grow and thrive in the company, as she has.
