"You are valued, loved, and appreciated."

Genesis's time with Express began in August of 2023. She enjoys being part of a community that's accepting and values communication and patience. Her favorite part about working with Express is having people value her thoughts and opinions. Genesis is chatty and outgoing, and is always looking to conquer her next adventure.

Growing up in the Hillsboro area, her favorite thing to do outside of work is spend time with her loved ones and find new hobbies to stay busy with. She lives with her family of 8, plus her dog Oakley, and loves it. She is able to adapt to any situation or circumstance she is placed with and loves making conversations with new people.
