Meet the Team

Kevin Roden

Light Industrial & Skilled Trades Employment Specialist

Born in New Lebanon, NY and raised in East Greenbush, I enlisted in the United States Army at the young age of 17 and served 5 years with two overseas deployments. My unique position during my time in the Army, at the National Security Agency, allowed me to recruit and train members of the Armed Forces, as well as their civilian counterparts, to deploy to countries around the world with different Special Operations Forces. My experience enabled me to ensure the best match when placing these members in their prospective positions.

After my enrollment with the Army, I moved back to the Albany area and worked in shipping & receiving for 4 years. I came to Express looking for employment and was assigned as a screen printer for a local company where I spent the next 2 years. Looking for a change, I returned to Express and began working on their internal team as an Employment Specialist. As a former Express employee, I understand and believe in their mission of helping people find employment and matching companies with the most suitable candidates. 

In early 2020 I was blessed with a beautiful baby boy and married my girlfriend of 6 years. In December of 2023, my family expanded to 4 as we welcomed our lovely baby girl. In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer and spending time with my family.

Lakeya Dominguez

Office Services Employment Specialist

Massachusetts born and raised, but wanderlust took hold and Lakeya lived in four other states. Now she planted her roots in Upstate NY and is keeping things exciting with my two-year-old son, Elijah, who’s a little adventurer himself! Balancing being a kick-butt mom and a passionate recruiter is her calling.

With a career spanning over seven years, Lakeya has honed her skills in the recruiting world, working both in-house and with staffing agencies. She has successfully placed candidates in a variety of roles and industries, always striving to help people find their dream opportunities. Her work is incredibly rewarding. Currently, at Express Employment Professionals, Lakeya is excited to continue growing her career and connecting exceptional individuals with outstanding opportunities.

When Lakeya is not busy finding great career opportunities for her associates, you might find her engaging in a kickboxing class, unleashing her creativity with design projects (thanks, Cricut!), or just learning something new to stay sharp. Her life is not just about work and personal growth. It's about balance and cherishing quality time with her fantastic hubby Thomas and her little explorer, Elijah.
