Suzanne Caldiera
Age 33
Multi Site Safety Coordinator
First Student
Hicksville, NY

“Suzanne began her career as a First Student school bus driver. That experience gives her a relatability that draws our front-line employees to her. She engages in conversations with an approach where she is not a ‘manager’ but rather a co-worker with a shared interest in keeping them safe. When employees speak with Suzanne they feel like their voice has been heard and that they were given practical solutions to their concerns. This provides fertile ground for her to get employees' 
buy-in.”
