Starting in high school I was working IT Helpdesk and in college, I worked both in IT as well as construction. After graduating I took a job as a Project Engineer for a large General Contractor. In my time working there they implemented a new ERP system and I joined that team combining my knowledge of IT and Construction. I’ve stayed in IT ever since and in 2019 became Rosendin’s CIO.
I am motivated by the opportunity to make a positive impact not only on a project but also on those I work with, creating an environment of growth for all. I am passionate about the work I do and strive to exceed expectations in order to ensure the project I am on is successful and the goals are achieved.
I met many really cool people from all over the US during intern week that I still like to keep in touch with today. Working as an intern at the San Francisco airport, I learned an enormous amount about project management and the importance of communication with your team, other contractors and clients. I was able to practice what I learned in my school projects at San Jose State by setting goals, deadlines and communicating effectively to avoid difficulties throughout the year. Once I graduated, I was pleased to hear from one of my mentors that I had an opportunity to continue working full-time at Rosendin. Currently, I get to work with low-voltage systems at the airport alongside the most knowledgeable, skilled and experienced professionals in the industry. My team has been extremely supportive and helpful in training me and it’s been a pleasure so far working with everyone.
I was looking for a career change, and with no knowledge about the Construction Industry and Project Management, joining the Rosendin 2022 Summer Internship Program was a blessing in disguise. Throughout my internship, there was never a moment where I wasn’t learning. I was challenged, kept curious, and eager to learn more. When offered to come on full-time, there was no hesitation in accepting the offer. New to the industry, I was faced with moments of imposter syndrome. However, it’s a different motivation and drive when your mentor, team, and company believe in you and invest in your growth. At Rosendin, the opportunities to grow your career are abundant. You won’t be pigeonholed to just one role and department. If you want to venture into another department and are willing to learn and have a strong work ethic – the possibilities are endless. Rosendin is like a treasure chest! You have the key to unlock all the endless gems that Rosendin has to offer.
The most surprising part about being a woman in construction is that the acceptance has changed from when I started to now. It’s much easier to jump in with everybody and be accepted.
