Juan Calderon
Facilities Coordinator
Born in Colombia, Juan has spent the last 7 years in Melbourne Australia working as a residential building manager and cleaning supervisor. I really enjoy helping everyone feeling as comfortable as possible in their apartments.
As a hobby, I’m a certificated personal trainer and that lead me t find another way to help people feeling and looking better. Now, I am happy to learn and share the Canadian culture and experience in this beautiful city and work place.
