This year, we\u2019re proud to honor a remarkable group of team members who have reached the milestone of five years of service. Each of them has made invaluable contributions to our projects, our culture, and our clients, and we\u2019re excited to share their reflections on what inspires them, challenges them, and shapes their journey here at Arora.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s hear their stories in their own words.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"1899\">Meet our Team:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Alex Alqaq, PE, ICC, LEED AP | Sr. Project Manager<br \/>\nHow have your relationships at Arora influenced your career journey?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Over the past six years, several key factors have contributed to my growth as both an engineer and a project manager. These include a strong company culture, focused and supportive leadership, ample opportunities for professional development, and exposure to a wide variety of complex projects. I\u2019ve also gained valuable experience working closely with clients, engaging with different branches of government, and consistently delivering projects on time. These experiences have not only sharpened my technical and managerial skills but also kept me focused on achieving high-quality deliverables and maintaining strong customer satisfaction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lynda Baer | Receptionist\/Administrative Assistant<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What\u2019s one way your role at Arora has shaped who you are today?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The best thing about working here at Arora is the friendships I\u2019ve found. I\u2019m definitely at the \u201cend\u201d of my career and counting the time to retirement and rest. Yes, I\u2019m looking forward to that time, while also realizing that I would not have the day-to-day interactions with the people here that I am so thankful to be working with. I know that many of these friendships will be cherished for a lot longer than my time here at Arora and for that I am truly grateful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Christyn Binder | Marketing Manager<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>How have your relationships at Arora influenced your career journey?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I\u2019m endlessly grateful for the relationships I\u2019ve built over the past 6+ years at Arora. I joined the firm as a Marketing Coordinator and, through a series of increasingly challenging and rewarding roles\u2014Sr. Marketing Coordinator, Content Specialist, Content Manager, and now Marketing Manager\u2014I\u2019ve been able to steadily grow into a leadership position that reflects both the trust others have placed in me and the work I\u2019ve put in to keep learning and evolving. Each step of that journey has been shaped by the people around me: from Adam Oliver\u2019s steady mentorship to the technical and operations teams who\u2019ve generously shared their time and expertise. That support has been instrumental in helping me build confidence, expand my perspective, and grow into the kind of leader I aspire to be.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steve Bisch | Sr. Vice President<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What keeps you inspired to grow and contribute at Arora?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I am inspired by the challenges and opportunities that come with helping our clients drive innovation and enhance their operations. Working primarily in the technology sector, I find it exciting to explore the rapidly evolving landscape of tools and solutions that can deliver meaningful value to our clients. Having spent the majority of my career as an owner, I understand firsthand the complexities of balancing day-to-day operations with the pursuit of innovation. This perspective allows me to empathize with our clients\u2019 goals and constraints. At Arora and EDI, I have the opportunity to focus deeply on technology and provide strategic guidance on its optimal use. It is especially rewarding to witness our clients adopt new technologies and realize measurable improvements in efficiency, performance, and service delivery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alise Martinez | Manager, Customer Operations<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What\u2019s one way your role at Arora has shaped who you are today?<br \/>\n<\/strong>My role at Arora has significantly shaped my perspective on leadership and resilience. As a Manager in Customer Operations, I\u2019ve learned to lead with empathy, adapt quickly to change, and continuously seek improvement. These experiences have deepened my confidence, sharpened my problem-solving skills, and reinforced the importance of being present and proactive in both professional and personal settings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sean Sheehan, PE | Mechanical Engineer<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Can you share a workplace challenge that helped you grow personally or professionally?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Learning how to look calm while the ceiling is falling, the schedule\u2019s slipping, and someone just asked if ducts can be flexible and invisible \u2014 that\u2019s been the biggest challenge. But over time, I\u2019ve gotten better at problem-solving under pressure, communicating clearly, and picking my battles\u2026 especially when \u201cvalue engineering\u201d shows up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Andruw Szczawinski | Sr. Electrical Designer<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>What keeps you inspired to grow and contribute at Arora?<br \/>\n<\/strong>At Arora, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects along with many different teams. Each project has been unique which has helped me develop my electrical skillset along with my BIM expertise. Because of this, I\u2019ve been fortunate enough to grow into a Senior Designer role. Additionally, Arora trusted me to work with a third-party vendor to grow our BIM standards. All these opportunities allow me to stay involved and help contribute to current and future projects.<\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"background-color: initial;\">Raelyn Williams | Sr. Human Resources Manager<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong style=\"background-color: initial;\">What keeps you inspired to grow and contribute at Arora?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I\u2019m driven by the relationships I\u2019ve built, the trust colleagues place in me, and the opportunities that arise where I can help others through the work that I do. I\u2019m also inspired by challenges \u2013 they push me to keep learning, adapt, and find new ways to add value. Every day is a chance to make a meaningful impact, and that is what keeps me engaged and motivated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Full List of Honorees:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"226\" data-end=\"285\">\n<p data-start=\"229\" data-end=\"285\"><strong data-start=\"229\" data-end=\"261\">Alex Alqaq, PE, ICC, LEED AP<\/strong> \u2013 Sr. Project Manager<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"286\" data-end=\"347\">\n<p data-start=\"289\" data-end=\"347\"><strong data-start=\"289\" data-end=\"303\">Lynda Baer<\/strong> \u2013 Receptionist \/ Administrative Assistant<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"348\" data-end=\"392\">\n<p data-start=\"351\" data-end=\"392\"><strong data-start=\"351\" data-end=\"370\">Christyn Binder<\/strong> \u2013 Marketing Manager<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"393\" data-end=\"456\">\n<p data-start=\"396\" data-end=\"456\"><strong data-start=\"396\" data-end=\"411\">Steve Bisch<\/strong> \u2013 Sr. Vice President, Enterprise Solutions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"457\" data-end=\"496\">\n<p data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"496\"><strong data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"479\">Suzann Dinsmore<\/strong> \u2013 BHS Operator<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"497\" data-end=\"549\">\n<p data-start=\"500\" data-end=\"549\"><strong data-start=\"500\" data-end=\"515\">Stas Kaspin<\/strong> \u2013 Sr. Fire Life Safety Designer<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"603\">\n<p data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"603\"><strong data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"571\">Alise Martinez<\/strong> \u2013 Manager, Customer Operations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"604\" data-end=\"648\">\n<p data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"648\"><strong data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"624\">Noura Milardo<\/strong> \u2013 Sr. Project Manager<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"649\" data-end=\"703\">\n<p data-start=\"652\" data-end=\"703\"><strong data-start=\"652\" data-end=\"670\">Chanel O\u2019Brien<\/strong> \u2013 Airfield Electrical Designer<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"756\">\n<p data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"756\"><strong data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"726\">Daniel O\u2019Brien<\/strong> \u2013 Fire Life Safety Designer<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"757\" data-end=\"813\">\n<p data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"813\"><strong data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"780\">Anil Poudel, PE<\/strong> \u2013 Sr. Special Systems Engineer<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"814\" data-end=\"862\">\n<p data-start=\"818\" data-end=\"862\"><strong data-start=\"818\" data-end=\"838\">Sean Sheehan, PE<\/strong> \u2013 Mechanical Engineer<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"917\">\n<p data-start=\"867\" data-end=\"917\"><strong data-start=\"867\" data-end=\"889\">Andruw Szczawinski<\/strong> \u2013 Sr. Electrical Designer<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"918\" data-end=\"973\">\n<p data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"973\"><strong data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"941\">Raelyn Williams<\/strong> \u2013 Sr. Human Resources Manager<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Interested in joining our team?
