As a LIUNA member, I’m not only able to do what I love but I’m able to take classes and expand my knowledge, which makes me more employable. I entered Local 17’s apprenticeship in April of last year. I love learning new things like ground-mounted PV systems.

My journey has led me to a place where I have some peace of mind knowing that I can take care of my family. I hope I can show other women who want to be in the trades that anything is possible as long as you work hard.
