Meet the Team | Juana de la Cruz

Christina Mullins • September 21, 2022

Although it is almost the first day of Fall, for us along the Gulf Coast, it certainly does not seem like tomorrow will start a new season. Although hurricane season has been relatively calm as compared to the past couple years, we are still monitoring the threat of severe weather daily. Our team continues to prepare themselves for anything that comes our way. 


Each month, we highlight a different employee from one of our five branches. For September, we highlight Juana de la Cruz, who is a New Orleans technician.


Meet the Team: Dominican Born & Raised

Juana was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. At 19, she and her mother moved to the United States in 1995. After, she briefly moved back to her home country for some time before coming back to the U.S.


Prior to coming to work at Guarantee, she attended Berkeley College in New York City. Additionally, Juana worked at a doctor's office for a brief period. After she moved to New York, she also worked for two cleaning companies. Whenever she moved to Louisiana, she worked for Service Master before joining the GRS family in May 2022. 


When she is not working, she enjoys watching TV and eating at different restaurants. She has enjoyed variety of cuisines and foods in Louisiana. She also spends a lot of time with her family.


While writing this blog, I asked Juana what she likes about working at GRS. She said, “ I like the work I do each day. My co-workers are great people. I hope to continue working for this company and be able to give my best each and every day.”

Saying Hi to July! The summer is here—and so is the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. 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.
