MY STORY
"How did you get into construction?" is usually the first question I'm asked when meeting someone new. I can usually tell by their tone if they are genuinely interested or simply dumbfounded. My response? I love construction. I mean, I really LOVE construction. I used to build cities with Legos and Playmobile outside in the backyard while other little girls were playing with Barbies. I begged my dad for my own toolbelt and helped build the shed and re-roof the house while still in middle school. I went to college, nights and weekends, for thirteen years to get my BS in Construction Management while working full-time on jobsites. I've been fired, laid off, and furloughed from some of the largest corporations in the construction industry, but I'm still here, still pushing forward to follow my dreams by helping others see construction as the industry of choice for hardworking people of all kinds.
Being part of a construction project, the satisfaction of problem-solving with an eye to safety, efficiency, and inclusion - It is the ultimate feeling of accomplishment for me. The relationships we build onsite by treating everyone fairly and equally, regardless of who they are or where they come from, because we have each others backs even on the toughest days, last for decades. That's my pixie dust. So let's inspire each other, help some hardworking folks, and make some magic today.
