Interviewer: Hi Brea! Can you tell me a little about where you are from. Where is your hometown and where did you go to school?
Brea: Hi everyone! My name is Brea Diogo, and I was born and raised in Bakersfield, Ca. First and foremost, I am a mother of two beautiful children. My first born is my daughter Zoee and my second is my son Derrek Jr whom we call Dj. I am married to Derrek Diogo, and we have been together since high school, for 12 years now. I went to North high school, and it was really the best years of my life. I grew up with a total of 7 siblings under a unique dynamic. From step siblings to cousins, we adopted as children and half / full siblings, you could imagine I grew up with a very large chaos induced household, but I loved it! The best way to describe me is fully family oriented between my family and the family I now have created. Holidays, traditions, and the way we raise our children means so much to me.
Interviewer: How long have you worked for BSK and what do you do for the organization?
Brea: I started to work for BSK in April 2019. I just hit my 5-year mark. I was only going to be part time, and I love it so much it became a full-time job. I am the Southern regional dispatch and project coordinator. My job requires a lot of attention to detail and socializing which I love. I am on the phone all day talking with clients and our field staff. I wear a lot of hats and am proud of how far I have come with the company. I appreciate how BSK has seen my value.
Interviewer: What do you enjoy most about your job?
Brea: Getting to speak with clients firsthand and being able to provide them with great customer service starts with dispatch then leads into reports and project coordination. I get to see the projects through start to finish along with our clients. We have a lot of repeat clients so some I have known on a personal level and that’s truly the best part about my job. I have taken clients out for lunch, and they have become friends that I speak with on a daily basis. I really enjoy the art of the puzzle that dispatch is. Most will look at the chaos and see exactly that, but give me an hour, and I can have the schedule pieced together to what makes sense. That and the people I work with make it special.
Interviewer: Can you tell us your favorite on the job story?
Brea: I don’t have any story specifically but there are so many fun memories from OC events and meeting clients in person. Most clients have taken me by surprise, and I really enjoy getting to put a face to the name of people I have spoken with for years. Owners club by far has my greatest memories. Karaoke is a Bakersfield favorite, and I love my work family!
Interviewer: Thank you so much for answering all these questions today. Can we leave off by you relaying some fun facts about yourself?
Brea: I am turning 30 in November! I am a big advocate for human trafficking prevention. I do annual rallies to raise money for local and national organizations. I have raised thousands of dollars in the last 4 years. I feel like I was born in the wrong generation. I love being a mother and raising my children, if I could go back in time, I would love to be a stay-at-home mother and garden / have a homestead and homeschool. Times are obviously MUCH different. I am very outgoing and a goof ball once you get to know me. A fun fact is I have never worked in the construction industry and the fact that I am where I am now blows my mind. I definitely think this is the best career path for me 😊.
