Bio
Rosanna Matucan-Carson, SPHR, GPHR, SHRM-SCP
Elaine was my first mentor when I first entered into the HR field. She was the one who believed in me and gave me the chance. As my HR Director, Elaine was always there to answer any questions that I had and she exposed me to the various disciplines in HR that would end up propelling me forward in my career. She is a solid HR professional with a talent for developing her people and I am honored to have worked with her.

For several years I had the pleasure of working with Elaine Jafolla, who served as Director of Human Resources with great distinction. At the time, Winkler was going through a period of great change. A transition was necessary from a rather sleepy family owned property management company into a competitive, leading and fast moving real estate development company in the Washington metropolitan area. Elaine helped lead that effort successfully with an ability to relate to lower level landscaping and janitorial personnel as well as senior leasing officers. Her recruiting efforts were superb and critical to our success. Finally, Elaine's ability to guide the company with participation in unifying charitable enterprises such as Christmas In April and team building and other motivational work were all value added qualities.
