ABOUT katie:
Beginning my career as an apprentice, I had the opportunity to learn from many in my field. Working on a variety of projects ranging from fitness centers and hospitals to warehouses and stadiums, my apprenticeship taught me a lot about the construction industry and the plumbing trade.
After completing my training and obtaining hands-on experience, I moved from the field into the office. Learning the technical and logistical side of the business, I spent a few years as a plumbing estimator. My role in the office eventually evolved into the role of a project coordinator and then to my current position as a project manager.
After some encouragement, I obtained my plumbing master’s license. I have continued to grow within my role pursuing other licenses, working to train others, and learning ways to become effective in my role. The construction industry can have its challenges, but can also result in a very rewarding career.
