For the month of May 2015, we would like to honor Manuel Azevedo as the City of Porterville’s Employee of the Month. Manuel was hired on October 20, 2013 as an IT Analyst.  Manuel grew up in Tulare County and he attended Tulare Union High school.  He received his Bachelors of Science degree from Devry University in technical management in 2006.

The function of an IT analyst here at the City varies in technical and analytical duties in support of the enterprise, client and server, desktop PC's, software and mobile terminals. Manuel has continually demonstrated the ability to successfully support all aspects of technology we have. Manuel also brought his customer support skills as he interacts with our internal users with enthusiasm, knowledge, and respect.  When Manuel is assigned a project, he takes ownership and follows through with determination and ardency.

In addition to Manuel, he has three other family members who are part of the City of Porterville team: His cousin, Sgt. Mark Azevedo, cousin-in-law, Kim Azevedo, who is a dispatcher, and his wife, Diana who is a Police Records Clerk.
