Eckman Construction Welcomes Teresa Avila, Executive Assistant

Eckman Construction is excited to welcome Teresa Avila to our team as Executive Assistant. With over three years of hands-on experience and strong organizational and office skills, Teresa has brought out the best of our communications at Eckman for the last six months.

Our clients, partners, and team alike appreciate Teresa for her reliability, positive attitude, and willingness to go the extra mile to help. Teresa is adaptable and calm when facing challenges, and her ability to ask questions, quick learning, and ease of collaboration helps our team run smoothly through each project. “Helping support a team through the busy times has taught me how important strong communication and organization is,” she said. “The most rewarding part of my job is being able to help the people I work with.” Teresa’s help, coordination, and team-centered mentality makes her an invaluable part of Eckman Construction.

Teresa believes that curiosity and good mentorship is key to a successful career, as well as a willingness to learn, and she emulates these ideals in everything she does. “Every experience good or bad teaches you something that helps you grow,” she expressed. “It’s never too late to start. You always start somewhere.”

When Teresa is not working, she loves to be outdoors doing a variety of activities—swimming, paddle boarding, and hiking—as well as shopping and cooking or baking. She spent many years in dance growing up and takes care of two cats. Eventually, she would like to purchase a house and visit Hawaii.

We’re glad to have Teresa on our team. Thank you for all your hard work!
