![]() My daughter, Mariella, and daughter-in-law, Carla, also work at Erie. What is something no one knows about you? I love to train people I like to give them knowledge because if, for example, one day I leave, it would be an honor if someone already at Erie took my place instead of hiring someone from the outside. What legacy would you like to leave behind at Erie ? I want people to be strong and know how to defend themselves. What motivates me is what I can do for others. I also enjoy hobbies to relieve stress, like kickboxing and crossbow. I always believe, enjoy today because you don't know where you're going to be five minutes from now. So, spending time with my family and close friends is a blessing. I always tell them I'll take a bullet for you anytime. I love spending time with my kids and my grandkids. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? For me, Erie is like a mission in the sense that my mission is to serve the patients, my peers, and the community. I started military school when I was seven years old, which is why I'm very structured and disciplined. I am a trained violent crisis incident instructor so that I can handle incidents such as active shootings or any massive incidents. I'm well trained to defend myself and protect others that need it. I think it influenced my personality, character, and demeanor. How would you say your military experience influenced your approach to your work and role at Erie? Then I came to the States, and that all changed. They trained us, but we couldn't go off to war. I wanted to be a soldier that went to war, but they didn't allow women to do that back then. I didn't go overseas, but I was trained in two major bases in PR, (Fort) Ramey and Buchanan. I skipped grades three times and graduated at 15. I studied in military school in Puerto Rico until the 11th grade. I come from a family of vets, and my husband was an operation specialist in the army. What is your relationship with the military? I also implemented the WIC program at Erie and won the Original Case Management Award for Erie. It was in 2011 when Erie Division opened, where I helped to build the site. I am sent to the site to build it again, structure it, and provide training, guidance, and support until the new director comes aboard. I will have been at Erie for 26 years in September. Now, I'm the Regional Director of Operations and handle emergency preparedness. After that, I ended up in Health Center Operations, and the day I transferred over, they called and asked me back. So, I told my former boss that I would take myself out of the budget, meaning I would lose my job. They told me I needed to let go of more people, but I couldn't. Moving to HCO was interesting because it was the year of many layoffs and hit us hard. Erie called me for an interview the first week of July, and once I started, I took the programs and developed them until I transferred to HCO. They said, 'We're giving Erie the programs, but this is the person who knows how to run those programs". Later, I found out the auditors wanted me to go to Erie. Years ago, all the case management programs at the agency I was working for were transferred to Erie, and that's where I came in. You can learn more about Marisol's story in her Erie Lights profile.
