Christina Mullins • July 13, 2022

Hello there, July! As it usually does, the summer is flying on by. Our team is bracing themselves for what has been predicated to be another busy hurricane season.


Each month, we recognize one team member that has really made an impact. The spotlights rotate between branches. For July, it is Gulfport’s turn. We would like to introduce you to Christie Claudio, who serves as a Project Manager. Find out more about her below!


Meet the Team: Puerto Rican-raised to U.S. Veteran 

Christie was born and raised in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico. At the age of 22, she joined the U.S. Army and moved to America. She served in the Army as a Logistics Specialist for 6 years.


After being discharged, she worked for about five and a half years for Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi. She started out as a carpenter and was eventually promoted to Carpenter Foreman.


In addition to her prior experience in construction, she received an MBA in Project Management from Columbia Southern University in Orange Beach, Alabama. She joined our team in March 2022.


Whenever she is not working, Christie said that she spends a lot of time spending time and creating memories with her family. She is married to her wife Valerie. They have two sons, Zaid (11) and Zarek (6).


She also enjoys cooking and watching sports. Her favorite team of all time is the Cleveland Guardians of the MLB. She also loves watching the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers and the NFL’s Green Bay Packers. 



Meet the Team: Help Others When We Are Needed Most 

While I was writing this blog, I asked her what he likes about working for Guarantee. She explained, “What I love about working at GRS is the company culture and the opportunity to help others when we are needed the most. I love to see our customers’ faces when they see the complete results of our work.

No matter what it brings, you can be assured that our team at Guarantee Restoration Services will be there when you need us most. Meet the Team: Marcela Argueta Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase our many awesome team members. For July, we are shining the spotlight on Marcela Argueta , who serves as a Lead Technician at our New Orleans location. She was promoted to that position in January 2025 . From Honduras to GRS Marcela was born and raised in La Ceiba, Honduras , also known as “la novia de Honduras” —which translates to “the bride of Honduras.” She moved to the U.S. in December 2016 after earning her bachelor’s degree in nursing from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras . Marcela is currently approved and ready to take her exam to become a registered nurse in the U.S. Before joining our team in August 2022 , she worked as both a nurse and a homemaker . Life Outside of Work Marcela is a proud mother of two—her son, Sebastian (15) and daughter, Eleanor (5) . When she’s not working, she loves spending quality time with her children and extended family. Fun fact: her half-sister, Brenda , also works at GRS in our Baton Rouge office! One of Marcela’s favorite pastimes is going for walks in the park. She says she often uses this time to meditate and reflect—thinking about what she’s done well and what she could improve.
