138 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY Always desiring to better himself, Erik A. Pina never liked the idea of settling for something less than what he deserved. Possessing a strong, diligent work ethic, he lives by the example of serving others as he would serve himself, and throughout the course of his career, he has never taken a step back within either his personal or professional life. Since 2019, he has excelled as the supervisor of customer service for the United States Postal Service in Portland, Oregon. Among his notable achievements, he is especially proud of coming up with innovative plans to create a more efficient work environment, particularly as it has related to the layout of office space. Prior to commencing his career with the United States Postal Service, Mr. Pina served WinCo Foods in several capacities, including as a produce worker and working his way up to the position of manager. Civically involved as well, he spends his spare time volunteering for the Vietnamese community in Oregon. Above all else, he desires to promote the idea that young individuals who are either just entering the workforce or are in entry-level and above positions are sparks for positive change in the everchanging professional climate.

As a testament to his success, Mr. Pina has received several accolades for his work, including being recognized as an Exceptional Employee by the Postmaster of Oregon. A member of the National Junior Honor Society, he notably graduated from high school with enough credits to recognize him as a college freshman.
