During that summer, I began working in the office of my husband&#x27;s concrete flatwork company and have never looked back. I am now co-owner and Vice-President of Operations. I am motivated by the continuous challenges of running our office and, in my dual role as company safety administrator, finding creative ways to promote safety to our employees.About that same time, I joined the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC). I served for many years on the Board of the Pikes Peak chapter including three years as president. I am now the national committee chair for the OSHA-NAWIC Alliance. While I enjoy working in the construction industry, I am especially passionate about supporting women who have also chosen to work in this male-dominated field.When I am not working, you will find me visiting my daughter who is attending Wake Forest School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, NC, wrapped in a warm blanket at a hockey rink cheering for my son who is a AAA hockey goalie, or just chilling with my husband and NOT discussing work.
