In the bustling corridors of The Wilburn Company, Tammy Hawkins shines as a beacon of dedication and skill. With an impressive eight-year tenure, Tammy has not only witnessed the evolution of the company but has also grown immensely, both professionally and personally. Her journey, marked by a deep understanding of the Green Cleaning system, is a testament to her commitment and adaptability.

A Pillar of Strength and Reliability 

Tammy’s story with The Wilburn Company began with a desire for change. Leaving her previous career path, she ventured into the cleaning business, a decision that has since unfolded into a rewarding journey. What makes her role fulfilling is not just the tasks at hand but the connections she’s forged with colleagues and clients alike. Tammy’s experience highlights the human side of the cleaning industry – an aspect often overlooked but deeply significant.

Among her many achievements, Tammy takes particular pride in mastering the cleaning of stainless steel. This skill, requiring precision and technique, stands as a symbol of her dedication to her craft. It’s not just about making surfaces shine; it’s about the meticulous attention to detail and the satisfaction of a job well done.

Ask her colleagues, and they’ll echo the same sentiment: Tammy is the epitome of hard work and reliability. Her presence is a reassurance, a constant in the ever-changing workplace dynamics. She’s there when you need her, ready to lend a hand or share her expertise.

Overcoming Challenges with Determination

Tammy’s journey has sometimes been challenging. The floor machines, from buffers to the Tennant walk-behind floor scrubber, posed a significant hurdle. These intimidating pieces of equipment demanded not just physical prowess but also mental fortitude. Yet, Tammy conquered this challenge with determination, adding another feather to her cap of accomplishments.

In a field that’s constantly evolving, Tammy stays ahead of the curve. Her commitment to green cleaning classes and continuous learning keeps her skills sharp and relevant. By embracing new knowledge and learning from her peers, Tammy ensures she’s always at the top of her game.

Tammy takes great pride in being on The Wilburn Company’s green team, where cleaning isn’t just about sparkle—it’s about the planet. She follows strict green cleaning rules because it makes workplaces safer and the earth cleaner. Whenever she uses less water to clean carpets or picks up a microfiber cloth instead of a paper towel, she’s helping a bit more. And with her GS-42 training, Tammy ensures that being green is a part of every swipe and scrub she does.

What might surprise many about Tammy’s role is the deep sense of satisfaction it brings. The transformation she brings to each space she works on is not just visually striking but also emotionally rewarding. It’s about creating a positive impact, one clean area at a time. “The before and after is always an eye-opener,” shares Tammy. 

Tammy’s career is a mosaic of experiences and interactions. Each building she enters, and every individual she meets contributes to her professional tapestry. It’s a journey shaped not by a single event or person but by many moments and connections.

Life Beyond Work: A Blend of Family, Creativity, and Nature

Away from work, Tammy’s life is a vibrant mix of family, creativity, and a love for the outdoors. Whether it’s crafting on a rainy day or tending to her garden under the sun, her hobbies reflect a balance and joy that also permeate her professional life.

To those aspiring to join the cleaning industry or excel in their current roles, Tammy offers simple yet profound advice: find joy in what you do. Her perspective underscores the importance of cleaners in our world, reminding us that every role, no matter how seemingly small, has a significant impact.
