What is your secret to success?
I wouldn’t say that it’s my secret, but my need for perfection has fueled my success with C.R. Crawford. I’m my worst critic and my biggest cheerleader. I was raised that if you’re going to do something, give it 100 percent — that’s what I aim to do every day.
Which of your accomplishments are you most proud of?
My daughter. She’s my world. I am able to do work I love and then go home to my family. Being able to balance out both worlds and not feel like I’m disappointing anyone is a big accomplishment, in my opinion.
What obstacles have you had to overcome?
The biggest obstacle for myself has been proving that I know what I’m talking about when it comes to my area of expertise in construction. Construction has typically been a man’s world, but women are rising throughout the field.
Is there another “power woman” in your life who inspires you?
My mom has been my biggest “power woman.” She raised two daughters, had a full-time career and still took care of everything at home. She was never afraid to get dirty and do what had to be done, whether it was working on a vehicle, doing house repairs or sewing a button back on. She was always there to get it done.
What are you reading/listening to right now?
I am an avid reader, but have recently gotten into audiobooks. My most recent listen was The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music by Dave Grohl.
