We would like for you to use this money to buy yourself a drink, meal, snack of your choice, or even props, so you can share it with us at the next virtual happy hour.

Jorge Olvera
“My position is G Suite and Help Desk Administrator for NicheAim, People Thrust and I can assist anyone that needs my help.”
“My main clients are NicheAim and People Thrust.”
“I started working with People Thrust on January 27, 2020.”
“I would be a Mercedes-Benz because it is a luxury car that lasts long and has great technology, style, and comfort.”
“I used to go to the movies and watch shows. I like listening to different types of music depending on my mood such as alternative rock, jazz, or instrumental music such as piano. I enjoy reading books about personal development and spirituality.”
“I grew up getting together with my family (4 siblings) on Christmas day.”
“The first thing that comes to mind is having dinner with my four grandparents. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to meet them and I would like to get to know them.”
“What motivates me, is the impact that I can have with the people that surround me. I like to get to know people and give the best version of myself to them.”
“Back in 2016 I took a “big leap of faith” and decided to leave a company that I have been working for 4 years because I had to set a boundary and realize the value I brought, so I started something on my own.”
“When I feel deflated in my personal life, the first thing I do is have open communication with my wife because she is a great support to me. I also do an introspection of why certain things bother me, and that improves my thought process and see things moving forward with more of a logical and objective mindset.”
“In the past, I used to serve food for people at waiting rooms in hospitals, I volunteered at nursing homes (old people’s homes). Moving forward I would try to help people by enabling them or showing them that it is possible to change their mindset and empower them to believe in themselves.”
“Even Though people see me and see how skinny I am, I used to be an overweight child. People would never guess that about me.”
“What I enjoy the most about my career is that it brings me the opportunity to meet and work with a lot of people and learn a lot from them as well.”
In December 2019 our team came together and spent a weekend of service by building a house for the Mendoza Rubio family, a family in need in Ensenada, Mexico. We realized that we can make a sustainable long-lasting impact by sponsoring Angel’s education. Angel is the eldest child whose story and desire to become an engineer inspired us.
We got an update from Angel. He is still in school, virtual school, as a ninth-grader from Monday to Thursday. Then he works Friday to Sunday earning $230 Pesos a day ($12 USD) to help his family with house expenses. It’s great to see that he is still motivated despite the pandemic and the challenges it brings to students everywhere!
If you wish to know more about Angel’s story check out our webpage. If you wish to donate email Natalia for more details.
Did you know our team has developed all the logistics and technology for COVID-19 testing for the county of Santa Ana in Southern California? Yeah, pretty snazzy, huh! A few of us went to one of the pop-up testing centers and checked it out. Take a look at it in the pictures below!
“If you guys ever feel stressed, worried, or have a problem with another collaborator or client don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m here to help and make your experience at People Thrust healthy and enjoyable.”
