Joanna Rupley Sablan
Hafa adai everyone,
This month I’d like to introduce you to one of our newer members Joanna Rupley Sablan. She is fresh to the Guam construction scene having worked in the tourism industry prior. She is the Business Development/Document Control Specialist for KHLG & Associates, Inc. She started in the construction industry as a Measurement and Verification Specialist for Noresco, LLC (Guam & Hawaii) in the early 2000s. She is a Certified Document Controller certified through Consepys Int’l. She very much enjoys working in the construction industry as she finds it dynamic and engrossing.
Aside from construction, she enjoys crocheting, fishing, baking, farming, crafting, and concert travels. Her travels have been a little stinted with the pandemic, but she looks forwards to future travels. She has 2 cats, 3 egg layer hens, and 4 dogs that are her current babies as her kids are all grown. She comes from a long-time family on Guam that used to own Rupley Egg Farm in Barrigada. All 4 kids, 3 bonus plus her own, are living their own lives while giving her 2 grandchildren. She also enjoys geocaching to discover new places in Guam and during her travels. She pays homage to her inside child by loving everything Hello Kitty and dragonflies.
She joined NAWIC to connect with a diverse group of women and their passion for bringing awareness to a demanding construction industry while empowering one another. She does not believe there is a grey area when it comes to doing right or wrong. She believes in kind, compassionate, and giving. Her quote is “No matter your position in the company (or in society), we are equal when it comes to feelings; don’t be destructive with your words or actions.”
She is humbled to work for KHLG & Associates, Inc. as they’ve given her a challenge that she enjoys. KHLG is a dynamic, locally owned and licensed engineering firm that specializes in innovative Program/Project and Construction Management, Environmental Engineering & Consultation, X-Ray Testing & Evaluation, Technology Solutions, Construction Claims Services, and more.
