In a heartfelt ceremony on April 3, 2025, Miami-Dade County recognized Rose, a dedicated employee who has devoted 30 years of service to the community, particularly at the Port of Miami. Starting her career in 1994 as a currency operator, Rose has climbed the ranks to become a human resources manager, showcasing her commitment and adaptability throughout her journey.

Colleagues celebrated Rose not only for her professional achievements but also for her personal qualities. As a military mom and a grandmother, she embodies the resilience and strength symbolized by her favorite flower, the orchid. This flower, known for its beauty and ability to thrive in diverse environments, mirrors Rose's own journey and contributions to the county.

During the ceremony, her peers shared anecdotes highlighting her mentorship and support. Chantelle Love Menace, a fellow employee, credited Rose with teaching her the ins and outs of payroll management, emphasizing the positive impact Rose has had on her career and the lives of many others.

Rose's dedication extends beyond her job; she has pursued continuous education, earning a bachelor's degree in public administration and completing various professional development courses. Her commitment to learning and growth reflects her desire to provide the best resources for her colleagues and the community.

As Miami-Dade County continues to navigate a changing socio-economic landscape, Rose's story serves as an inspiring reminder of the importance of dedication, adaptability, and community spirit in public service.
