At Burnett Specialists, we love recognizing professionals who bring dedication, positivity, and reliability to every assignment. This December, we’re proud to celebrate Emmy Amaya as our Staffing Employee of the Month!
Since joining her assignment in March 2024, Emmy has consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, a strong work ethic, and an eagerness to learn. Her reliability and positive energy have made a lasting impact on both her client and recruiter — and we couldn’t be prouder to have her representing Burnett Specialists.
Recognized for Excellence and Reliability
Emmy was nominated by her recruiter, Michelle Waldron, who shared the following about why Emmy stands out:
“Emmy consistently demonstrates dedication, reliability, and responsibility, proving to be a valuable asset to our client’s team. She communicates promptly and professionally, leaving a lasting impression not only on me as her recruiter but also on our client, who has shared nothing but positive feedback about her performance.”
The client shared equally glowing remarks:
“Since joining us in March 2024, Emmy has continually demonstrated her dedication and reliability. She has successfully coordinated multiple mass mailouts for us, showcasing her strong organizational skills and keen attention to detail. Emmy has also shown a great willingness to learn and grow within our department, which makes her an invaluable contributor to the team.”
Michelle added,
“Emmy demonstrates professionalism and a strong willingness to learn and take direction, all while maintaining a positive attitude — a quality that truly cannot be taught. Her dedication, reliability, and consistent positive performance are what made me want to nominate her. We’re excited to recognize Emmy for her outstanding work ethic and eagerness to learn. Her enthusiasm and commitment throughout this assignment have truly stood out. I want to sincerely thank her for her commitment, consistency, and professionalism.”
Meet Emmy
Emmy is 32 years old and currently serves as a Land and Right-of-Way Clerk with one of our clients, where she helps ensure timely communication with landowners and supports key operational mailouts. With her organizational skills and proactive communication, Emmy helps her team meet important deadlines with accuracy and efficiency.
“What I enjoy most about my work is that I am helping to get information out to our landowners in a timely manner,” she shared.
A Strong Work Ethic and Heart for Teamwork
Emmy takes great pride in her ability to meet expectations and deliver results — especially completing large-scale mailouts ahead of schedule. She’s motivated by the satisfaction of meeting her managers’ goals, the camaraderie of her coworkers, and even the small moments that make workdays enjoyable.
“What motivates me to excel is knowing I’m meeting my managers’ expectations so that I continue to have job security. I also enjoy the breakfasts vendors bring us where we can all bond over good food, and my coworkers’ positive energy, especially my cubicle mate!”
The Burnett Connection
When reflecting on her experience with Burnett Specialists, Emmy was quick to express her gratitude for her recruiter:
“I am extremely grateful for Michelle — she and I have worked together for some time now, and I consistently recommend her specifically, not just the agency. She is prompt, knowledgeable, and always willing to assist. Her ability to answer my last-minute questions with such professionalism continues to impress me. Michelle has been able to help me with any hiccup, from parking garage setup to payroll questions, and Michelle consistently checks in to make sure I don’t have any questions. She’s just so incredibly helpful in every way.”
Emmy says this recognition reassures her that her hard work does not go unnoticed and reflects her gratitude toward the team on her assignment:
“I genuinely enjoy the company and the managers I work with — they have been an absolute blessing. As a single mother, having leadership that understands life’s unexpected challenges and offers flexibility means more than I can express.”
Traits That Set Her Apart
Emmy’s organizational skills and strong communication are key contributors to her success. Her natural ability to stay on top of details, while keeping a positive and approachable attitude, makes her a valued part of any team.
Outside of Work
Outside of her professional role, Emmy enjoys an active and family-centered lifestyle. Her weekends are filled with soccer games for her oldest daughter, who plays in the youth national league, and concerts for her youngest, who plays in the orchestra.
“If I’m not on the field, then I’m at a concert, which I enjoy. However, if I have neither a game nor a concert, you can find me at the gym or on a random trip. Last-minute adventures are always the best in my opinion!”
Why She Recommends Burnett
“Of course I would recommend Burnett. I’ve referred over five people who were seeking work. The communication and professionalism from this company are what make Burnett stand out from the rest of the staffing agencies I’ve been in contact with.”
