  Heather Parker

  Vice President, Client Services CleanOffice / PorterPlus

  Heather Parker is an ex-law enforcement officer who lived in different countries every three years from birth to thirteen years of age as her father was a U.S. diplomat, fully bi-lingual in both the English and Spanish languages. She builds relationships with people, especially those with different nationalities and cultures. She lived through two different civil wars, one in Liberia in 1986 and the other in El Salvador, 1989, where Americans were ultimately evacuated, including her family. This experience fueled her desire to become a law enforcement officer as a way to aid the vulnerable. These exposures in her formative years gave her the groundwork in crisis and personnel management. Being in-charge and disciplined in differing types of situations while diplomatically managing people and the situation at large is her area of expertise. Understanding what truly makes people tick, comprehension of non-verbal signals and learning who they truly are, as people, are where true client and employee relations occur.  

  In her role as Vice President of Client Services with CleanOffice / PorterPlus, she oversees all aspects of the client-experience and focus on client-retention and expanding existing relationships.  She is currently the Co-chair of Hygieia’s education committee, Apartment and Office Building Association of Metropolitan Washington’s community service committee and Building Services Contractors Association International as a conference speaker.  She’s a graduate of George Mason University with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and she holds the designation of Registered Building Service Manager through BSCAI.
