## Meet Jazmin Ocegueda: Bringing Fresh Energy to Our Newport Beach Team
We're thrilled to introduce Jazmin Ocegueda, the newest Project Manager joining our Newport Beach office. With her background as a construction project coordinator at AAA, Jazmin brings valuable experience and an infectious enthusiasm that's already making waves with our team.
A Rancho Cucamonga native who now calls Costa Mesa home, Jazmin embodies the balanced lifestyle that makes Southern California such an attractive place to work. When she's not coordinating complex commercial projects, you'll find her exploring local hiking trails with her dog Layla or enjoying Sunday brunch with friends – a perfect reminder that the best project managers know how to recharge.
### Getting to Know Jazmin
**Weekend Warriors Welcome:** Jazmin's approach to work-life balance includes outdoor adventures and quality time with friends. Her Sunday brunch tradition speaks to someone who values relationships and community – qualities that translate beautifully to client and team interactions.
**Local Expertise:** When visitors come to town, Jazmin recommends The Camp and The Lab for their unique mix of restaurants and boutiques. This local knowledge reflects the kind of community awareness that benefits our commercial design projects across Orange County.
**Memorable Moments:** Her favorite memory from the past year was a family road trip to Zion National Park – a choice that reveals someone who appreciates both natural beauty and shared experiences, perspectives that enrich any design team.
**True Colors:** As a dedicated LA Dodgers and LAFC fan, Jazmin brings that loyal, team-first mentality to everything she does. Sports fans often make excellent project managers – they understand strategy, teamwork, and how to perform under pressure.
### A Philosophy That Drives Results
Jazmin lives by a powerful Michelle Obama quote: *"Instead of letting your hardships and failures discourage you, let them inspire you. Let them make even hungrier to succeed."* This mindset perfectly captures what we look for in project management – the ability to turn challenges into opportunities and maintain forward momentum even when projects get complex.
### What's Next
Jazmin is excited about the professional growth opportunities at Tangram and is already demonstrating the upbeat attitude and fresh perspective she promised to bring. Her experience coordinating construction projects, combined with her positive outlook on challenges, positions her perfectly to help our clients navigate the evolving landscape of commercial interior design.
**Fun Fact:** Jazmin's go-to snack is watermelon and pineapple with tajin – a combination that's both refreshing and energizing, much like the approach she brings to project management.
Welcome to the team, Jazmin! We're looking forward to seeing how your experience and enthusiasm contribute to creating exceptional spaces for our clients.
