Through the view of a lens or an engineer, Navarro has the vision to see more than meets the eye. Navarro loves to travel with her husband Juan and with her 35-mm Pentax K1000 camera, which she still has from her high school days. Ironically, it was one of the few things she still had after the airline lost their luggage during their honeymoon in Spain last year. An avid photographer, Navarro has taken a picture every day since January of this year and plans on documenting 365 days of photographs with her other passion, scrapbooking. At ccrd, Navarro oversees the project management and design of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems for large healthcare facilities. For the past year, Navarro has served as the project manager on four hospital campus projects in California totalling more than 1 million sq ft: Riverside Community Hospital, Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center, Regional Medical Center of San Jose, and Good Samaritan Hospital. She worked as an electrical engineer on the emergency department and ICU for the 120,000-sq-ft expansion of Rapides Regional Medical Center. Navarro serves on several ccrd committees including the Advisory  Committee to the Board of Directors, Quality Assurance/Quality Control, and Electrical Master Specification writers. When she’s not working she loves scrapbooking, and now has a collection of more than 35 detailing her life and travels. Navarro met her husband, an architect, while she was working as an electrical engineer at Clear Lake Heart Hospital in Webster, Texas.
