Dieusita Jean named new Operations manager at GatewayJFK

In order to help improve services in the district GatewayJFK has hired Dieusita Jean (pronounced as Jer-see-ta) to fill the newly created position of Operations Manager.

Jean was born and raised in Southeast Queens and has direct experience that will help her quickly adapt to the role, including a history of work in communications, event planning, and coordinating services with City agencies as a staff member for Assembly Member Clyde Vanel of Queens Village.

The Operations Manager position is the second full time staff position for the team at GatewayJFK. In the role Jean will perform a critical role in managing GatewayJFK’s public space initiatives. Her responsibilities will include overseeing contracted vendors, collecting and managing data and analytics related to public space, and working with businesses, residents and City agencies to improve quality of life metrics in the area.

As part of that work Jean will be monitoring and improving the responses submitted using the GatewayJFK quality of life form, a website tool that helps workers and residents report issues including flooding, downed telephone poles, abandoned vehicles, and illegal dumping. Jean will directly help solve these problems by navigating government relationships and spending staff time to solve problems that our business owners and community members may not have time to deal with.

If you experience quality of life issues near your business or home, please report them on our website at gatewayjfk.org; or contact Dieusita Jean at 516-730-3400 or by email at dieusita@gatewayjfk.org.
