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.”

Meet The Team | Christy Jones Huff

By Christina Mullins • February 12, 2025
At Guarantee Restoration Services, our people are at the heart of everything we do. This month, we’re excited to introduce Christy Jones Huff , a Business Development Representative at our Jackson, Mississippi Branch who joined the team just over a year ago in January 2024 . From Property Management to Business Development Christy’s journey to GRS started long before she stepped through our doors. A Jackson State University graduate , she earned her degree in Mass Communications/Public Relations with a minor in Marketing . She then spent 19 years as a property manager , gaining invaluable experience in building relationships and problem-solving, which are skills that now serve her well in business development. It is safe to say that she is well-versed in the multifamily vertical that we serve, but she also works with several other industries, such as state entities and housing authorities.  Life Outside of Work Originally from Farmhaven, MS , Christy stays busy outside of work with a full house. She’s married, a proud mom to a college-aged son, and spends most of her free time keeping up with a very active toddler —a job she jokingly refers to as "taming a toddler." When she finds a rare quiet moment, she enjoys crafting, though she explained that those moments are few and far between these days.
