Simplicity has a woman’s name

If we refer to Aliuska, many people would not know whom we are talking about? ; but if we say the c of the Security and Protection, we would all know immediately who we are talking about.

And it is true that Aliuska Otaño Semino is the first woman appointed as a Shift Head in the Security and Protection Department, a promotion granted due to her knowledge acquired in the area over the years, her experience and sense of responsibility in all the tasks assumed and also carry out.

“I like stability, work is part of my life, of my family…, TC Mariel has given me knowledge and work and economic balance”. These are her words, she arrived at the Terminal in 2012, when the port maritime enclave was a project still under construction.

Graduated as a Public Order Agent and specialized in video surveillance, first Aliuska worked at the Zapata y C command post (Plaza Municipality, Havana).

From there, she headed towards an economic location that was emerging in the western side of Cuba, whose inauguration was in 2014, she remembers that moment with pleasure, as she witnessed that moment.

The beginning of a long road of personal improvement

“I came to TC Mariel as a Video Surveillance System Agent, then I took a course in x-rays, scanners, and closer in time, on March 23th, 2022, I was given the task of assuming the position of Shift Head of Security and Protection”, a position that our interviewee assumes with total naturalness.

Her small stature and her simplicity have not been an obstacle to lead  a group of men and women who face the fulfillment of their tasks every day because, according to Aliuska, the secret to success lies in putting oneself in the place of another, not only demanding from subordinates, but also caring about their problems and touching them closely.

Regarding the greater duty that she undertakes, she affirms: “I feel very proud because I have been the first female shift manager. I think I’m doing well, because I have had the recognition of my subordinates and my bosses, whose support has been decisive in my work”.

A woman with a big heart

Aliuska is not afraid of challenges, on the contrary, she considers them an impulse to rise to the occasions: “I like things well done, women are meticulous, and I try to solve problems with the things that are in my hands”.

Our highest consideration goes to this woman who treasures experiences in the TC Mariel Video Surveillance System.
