Today, we proudly recognize Diana Gutierrez, a standout employee whose unwavering commitment does not only embody our values but also drives our mission forward.

Diana Gutierrez has been a dedicated member of the Hilltop family for over 16 years, consistently contributing to our mission with her deep commitment, unwavering positivity, and ability to build meaningful relationships across the company, with our vendors, and within the community. Throughout her time at Hilltop, Diana has taken on various roles, and in each one, she has exemplified the very best of what it means to be part of our organization.

Currently, Diana is the welcoming face at the front desk of Property Services Warehouse (PSW). Her friendly demeanor ensures that everyone who walks through the door feels valued and appreciated. Her contributions extend far beyond her primary responsibilities-she plays a vital role in transportation, facilitates driving classes for Hilltop, manages Maintenance billing, and volunteers her time at community events. Diana’s interactions with everyone she meets are a true reflection of Hilltop’s core values, making her a genuine ambassador of our mission.

Diana embodies all of Hilltop’s values in her daily interactions. She builds strong relationships through her dependability, availability, and unwavering support for her colleagues, vendors, and the community. Her inclusivity ensures that everyone who visits PSW feels welcomed and valued. Diana’s willingness to volunteer at community events demonstrates her deep commitment to supporting others and representing Hilltop with pride.

She also knows how to bring joy into the workplace, using humor and kindness to lift the spirits of those around her, especially when they’re having a tough day. Diana’s genuine care for others and her ability to foster a positive environment make her the epitome of what it means to have the “Hilltop heart.” I still remember her warmth and kindness when I was a youth attending Choices at TRC-she made everyone feel welcome and cared for, even in her role as a receptionist.

Diana Gutierrez has been a steadfast part of Hilltop for over 16 years, and to my knowledge, she has never received this award. This isn’t because she seeks recognition-Diana simply does her job and helps wherever she can, without expecting anything in return. Her dedication and character are a testament to the fact that she lives Hilltop’s values every day because it’s who she is at her core.

By recognizing Diana as a Mission Champion, we would not only honor her unwavering commitment to Hilltop but also inspire others to live out our mission with the same dedication, kindness, and heart that she demonstrates daily. Diana is a shining example of how one person’s positive influence can build a community where everyone belongs, and we are truly blessed to have her as part of the Hilltop family.
