We’re excited to celebrate Kyle Otto and Maricela Paramo Reyes, who have been recognized by the Grand Island Chamber & GIAEDC as Top 35 Under 35 honorees. 

The annual award recognizes young professionals who are making an impact through leadership, innovation, professional achievement, and community involvement.

To me, being an asset to the community means making a positive difference in the lives of the people around me and contributing to a stronger community. I’m grateful to work at JEO, where giving back is part of our culture, and I’m thankful for the mentors, coworkers, and community members who have supported me along the way.”

“Being recognized as a 35 Under 35 individual is truly an honor. I’m grateful to work for a company that invests in its employees and encourages both professional growth and community involvement. This recognition reflects not only my efforts, but also the support of my colleagues and mentors who have helped me grow throughout my career.” 

Awards like these are a great reminder that the work we do extends beyond projects. We’re proud to see Kyle and Maricela recognized for the impact they’re making in the Grand Island community.
