I worked with Jo at Souder Masonry. Jo was a highly dedicated hard working individually who added immense value to our company. As a Project Manager Jo worked with our field team and office to ensure projects came in on time and on budget. Her dedication, work ethic, attitude and overall abilities were top notch. The only reason Jo is no longer with our company is she moved away from the Central Florida company. Before joining Souder I knew Jo for over a decade. I knew her as a caring, intelligent woman who gave of herself to her friends, family and community. When I had the opportunity to hire her and work with her I jumped at the chance. Jo was a pleasure to work with and to know. She is wonderful employee coworker and human being and I would highly recommend her to any compony

Jo Lucarelli is a passionate and dynamic individual that any employer would be fortunate to bring aboard. During her time as City Commissioner and Deputy Mayor of Lake Mary, she was a zealous advocate for the community: she astutely guided the City’s booming economic growth while preserving the quality of life we residents enjoyed. She also established the City’s Annual Family Fun Day during the Great Recession as a way for families to enjoy food, fun and fellowship in a difficult time. She has also been a voice for the voiceless, championing landmark anti-stalking legislation in Tallahassee. She also nurtured young and aspiring community leaders like myself to enter public service. With her track record of leadership backed by her strong character, Jo would be an asset to any employer and comes with my robust recommendation.
