We use these career events to emphasize the opportunities available to and the need for women in the industry. What does your organization do to support women in business? Hunt Electric has been promoting career opportunities in the construction industry at high schools and even elementary schools for years.I am proud to be part of this exceptional company and have the opportunity to influence initiatives that positively impact our organization and the people I work with. Although I can’t say it was always easy, I was fortunate to have many mentors that helped me along the way to become the confident leader I am today and serve as a member of Hunt Electric’s executive team. What is your most rewarding professional experience? 17 years ago, when I started working in the AEC industry, I was surprised to see how few women work in the construction industry and that even fewer of them held leadership positions.I do this by encouraging team members to leave their comfort zones, empowering them to make their voices heard, urging them to find mentors outside their team, and helping them surround themselves with people and connections who will lift them and push them to be better. Helping my team members grow and become the best version of themselves is a goal that drives my daily actions. This fuels my passion for giving back by mentoring others. Describe how creating connections and providing mentorship in your position at Hunt Electric have strengthened you as a leader? Having exceptional mentors has been a critical factor in my success. ![]() Watching someone achieve a goal, experience a win, or keep a promise because of a meaningful connection I created with them is an energy boost – because I know if they succeed, I succeed.
