Cassandra joined the Salmon Holdings team in June of 2007 and has since been predominantly involved in projects associated with the facilities operations in a large medical campus in the tri-state area. Her primary responsibilities include participation in and production of a facility-wide life safety audit. Cassandra heads up compliance reporting and regulatory evidence collation, producing mandated industry-regulated reporting.
Prior to her involvement with Salmon Holdings, LLC, Cassandra traversed a path of varied experiences: elementary education, design, campaign management, and business administration. Through each of these experiences she has brought to the table the ability to solve problems, create a more streamlined approach to operational procedures, and offer creativity with design.
In 2007, Cassandra volunteered for nearly five months in Africa, assisting with the rebirth of a village in Swaziland. She recently returned for a few weeks to assist the citizens of Bulembu and to rejoin her world neighbors.
