  • Ivonne Maya, Front Office Coordinator

    Ivonne has been with Express Tempe since May of 2015 and has really proven to be a great team player in the office. Ivonne is not one who turns away from hard work. She started off her career path working at IHOP at the age of 15. She then transitioned to working as an appointment scheduler at Arizona Traffic School. She believes deeply that the most enjoyable part of working for Express is being able to help people find jobs. Ivonne was born in Mexico and moved to Chandler, AZ, when she was three years old; she has been in the Tempe area ever since! Ivonne loves being with her family and really enjoys when they all gather together at a family cookout to watch soccer games. Ivonne is undoubtedly a key team member and invaluable worker at the Tempe office.

    Mike Purpura, Business Developer

    In March of 2015, Mike started his career with Express Tempe. He is a very task oriented employee who keeps the office outlook positive! Mike has worked in a few different roles before finding his home with the Tempe Express office. He has been in account management for Google Adwords, information technology sales, and an owner/marketing director for a sports performance training company. For Mike, helping someone find a job that they have been struggling to obtain is definitely the most rewarding part of working for Express Employment Professionals. As much as he loves working in Arizona,  Mike surprisingly is not a native to the Tempe area. For the first 20 years of his life, he lived in a small suburb outside of Oakland, CA, called Pleasanton. Mike is not only dedicated to his work, but he also is an active member of Redemption Church in Tempe. Outside of work and church, Mike enjoys traveling, playing sports, and spending quality time with his friends and family. He has been such a great addition to the Express Tempe team and we couldn’t be more thankful to have him.
