"These promotions are both well-deserved and a great example of Spaulding's 'grow from within' philosophy. Each staff member brings a wealth of knowledge of our campus operations to their new roles, and their expertise is invaluable," said Todd Emmons, President & CEO. "We are also excited to improve housekeeping services by making it part of our Support Services team."
Galimberti has been employed with Spaulding Academy & Family Services since 2014. He has led in-house construction and renovation projects that have improved campus buildings and reduced costs. Previously, he served as a maintenance director at a local healthcare facility and spent 15 years working in the criminal justice field. He holds a degree in criminal justice and is a member of the U.S. National Guard. Galimberti recently completed a three-month deployment, during which he led and managed a National Guard team at two State of New Hampshire COVID-19 vaccination sites that served 500 people daily.
Along with the housekeeping team, Huckins manages the floor care staff. She has enjoyed a long career at Spaulding Academy & Family Services, starting in 1995 as an overnight residential counselor and most recently as a household coordinator for the residential cottages.
Jenifer joined the Spaulding Academy & Family Services facilities team in 2014. He is being promoted from his role as Senior Facilities Worker and is a past recipient of the Spaulding Spirit Award. He is the former owner of a local landscaping business.
Hinxman was hired by Spaulding Academy & Family Services in 2014 as an administrative assistant in Behavioral Health. She brought years of experience in similar roles within various health care settings, including a physician's office and Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association. She transferred to Support Services when an opportunity was available and has remained in the department ever since.
