How long have you worked at Aviano Air Base: 2 1/2 years

Name of town/city and Italian province you are from: Aviano

How do you support the 31st Fighter Wing mission? First of all, making sure that people are correctly and punctually paid and taking care of them with a good customer service. Then, as President of the Comptrollers' Booster Club, I work hard to support the squadron's morale. I think that having a good environment can help the quality of life of every individual.

What's one thing you've learned about America's history, people and culture? American people are very proud of their country. That's something that the Italian people should learn.

What's one advantage of working with Americans? Having daily contact with a different culture is a great chance to learn something new.

What's your favorite European destination and why? I love Rome. It's the most beautiful city that I have ever seen in my life. Every corner is a surprise. Thousands and thousands of years of history, people, architecture, are right there, between the everyday-life of the roman citizens.

Why I nominated Ms. Calderon as one of Aviano's finest? Ms. Calderon is an exemplary worker and model local national for all to emulate. She manages all civilian payroll for NAF employees in the Wing and is highly regarded for her skills and expertise. She is a motivated self-starter and the shining face of the Booster Club for the 31st CPTS and serves as the President. Her positive attitude and work ethic are what make her overdue for this recognition....she is truly one of Aviano's Finest, not just today, everyday.
