Women in the construction industry if you want to be a part of something so great and bigger than yourself; with your own cheerleading team ask me about NAWIC! Want to learn more about these endorsements ask me about NEF!

I couldn’t have done this without the support and backing of several – my NAWIC sisters and friends across the country, the support of my husband putting up with the hours I spent studying, my boss and his encouragement, and my co-workers for sharing their knowledge and patience with my questions and a great place to work!

NEVER stop learning! There are so many possibilities out there!
