HICKAM WARRIOR: Tech. Sgt. Esmerelda Flores-Parker

  • Published
JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR HICKAM, Hi. --  Tech. Sgt. Esmerelda Flores-Parker, 15th Medical Support Squadron NCO-in-charge of outpatient records, is this week's Hickam Warrior.

As a supervisor, Sergeant Flores-Parker embraces her role in mentoring Airmen.

"The thing I love most about my job is watching my Airmen grow into mature leaders."

Sergeant Flores Parker is an experienced world traveler. She recently returned from a vacation in China and plans to visit Australia next. When she isn't traveling, Sergeant Flores-Parker enjoys going to the movies, exercising, attending school, or enjoying the beautiful Hawaii beaches.

Changes Sergeant Flores-Parker would like to see at Hickam revolve around traffic and individual safety.

"I would add more incoming lanes at the front gate to alleviate morning traffic jams. I think we should follow Pearl Harbor's example and add a motorcycle friendly area for motorcyclists to practice their skills. Also, we should add flashing lights to all crosswalks to help prevent pedestrian accidents."

Master Sgt. Michael Myers, Sergeant Flores-Parker's supervisor, confirms her worthiness as a Hickam Warrior selectee.

"She has a very motivating presence. She constantly volunteers in the workplace and in the community. She faces challenges head on."
