Professional Impact
Olenka has spent more than a decade with Lee Auto Mall, steadily advancing through the ranks with drive, expertise, and leadership. She began her career as a cashier at the Honda store before becoming a Warranty Claims Administrator, managing claims for five new vehicle franchises and gaining deep knowledge of vehicles and dealership operations. Two years ago, she stepped into the role of GMC Service Manager, taking on a department that needed revitalization and transforming it into a well-organized, high-performing team. Known for her tireless work ethic, Olenka has earned the respect of colleagues across the male-dominated automotive industry by leading with integrity, precision, and commitment to customer satisfaction.
Personal Passions
Outside of work, Olenka takes great pride in her family and the life she has built with her husband and their two children. Watching her kids grow, succeed, and find their own paths has been one of her greatest joys. She is also proud to be a woman thriving in an industry traditionally led by men, proving through her leadership that excellence knows no boundaries. In her free time, Olenka enjoys outdoor adventures such as hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling, as well as traveling with friends to experience new places and cultures. Staying active is a key part of her routine—she values self-discipline and believes that caring for oneself is a reflection of inner strength.
Love for Androscoggin
For Olenka, Androscoggin County is not just where she works—it’s where she has raised her family and built a fulfilling life. She and her husband are proud of the area’s strong public schools, safe neighborhoods, and the sense of community that defines life here. She appreciates the beauty of Maine’s four distinct seasons, each offering new opportunities for outdoor activities and exploration. To her, Androscoggin represents the best of Maine living: a place where families thrive, communities support one another, and there’s always something to enjoy—no matter the season.
