STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Kanesha Woodard

Sentry Management, your on-site management team for the Baldwin Park Residential Owner’s Association Inc., Commercial Owner’s Association Inc., Joint Committee Inc. and the agent for the Urban Orlando Community Development District, is made up of an experienced group of licensed Community Association Managers and individuals. Our team talks with homeowners, meets with board members, supervises contractors and maintenance personnel and provides leadership to the association’s Board of Directors. The staff is cross-trained to accommodate peaks and valleys in the workload, and encourages you to take the time to visit the offices at 1913 Meeting Place to meet the team! At Sentry, people are the difference.

If you frequent Grace Hopper Hall, chances are you have encountered Kanesha Woodard. Kanesha has the big job of keeping the building and surrounding areas exceptionally clean, including the pool deck, restrooms, gathering room, lobby, offices and fitness center. Her first day was Aug. 6, and she comes with experience as a groundskeeper at the city of Orlando’s Lynx bus system. Organizing, cleaning and attention to detail are her specialties.

Born and raised in Orlando, Kanesha attended Edgewater High School with her siblings. She is the oldest of five children — four girls and one boy — and most of her immediate family still lives in the area. 

Kanesha considers herself a “homebody” but does enjoy going to the movies occasionally and spending time at the beach, as well as four-wheeling and jet skiing. 

“Spending time in nature helps me clear my mind,” she says. “It’s like therapy.”

She enjoys her job because she can work at her own pace and considers it to be peaceful work. 

“I make sure everything is clean inside and outside all by myself,” she says. “It gives me a sense of pride.”

One of her favorite things about working in Baldwin Park is seeing all the different dogs on their walks, and she makes sure to check out the Pet of the Week posted in Grace Hopper’s lobby display case each week.

Kanesha is a hard worker, but if you see her on the property, please take the time to introduce yourself. She always has time for a friendly, “Hello!”
