Jennifer McGuire

Get to know Orange County staff... The Personnel File:

Wellness Program Manager

Jennifer McGuire is Orange County ’ s Wellness Program Manager, a new position in our Human Resources Department which began in January 2023 with the goal of supporting our team members in new and innovative ways. “ I love that my job blends all things wellness and that it allows for meeting people where they are at and helping them with whatever their need may be at that time, ” Jennifer said. “ Wellness is a holistic practice... I believe that doing what fills your cup, lifts you up, helps you thrive (whatever it may be at that moment) is wellness, ” she added. Jennifer has a background working with D - 1 collegiate athletes, but one of her favorite memories was working with an individual who ’ s goal was to be able to get back up off the mat without assistance. “ It was emotional because this was huge for this person and I had the opportunity to help them on their path, ” she said.

Juanesta Williams

Support Technician

While we can testify that she is ordinarily very active and highly motivated (she recently underwent some Fire & EMS equipment practice just to better understand it), she says her “ guiltiest pleasure at the moment is playing Candy Crush into mindless bliss. ” She has yet to find music that she doesn ’ t enjoy. With that in mind, she requests that you “ don ’ t make fun of me if you see me riding around town with my windows down and gangster rap or bluegrass blaring! ” No problem, Jennifer!
