“I am deeply honored to be recognized as this year’s WIFI Woman of the Year, thank you so much!!
This award isn’t just about me, it represents countless women who have paved the way before me. Being part of such an amazing industry for the last 29 years has been a journey of growth not only for myself, but for the fastener industry and watching the opportunities that WIFI offers women in this industry is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
I am lucky enough to have mentors that believe in me and if we all embrace the responsibility of encouraging others to use their voice, to embrace risk, to believe in themselves, and to lift one another up, together, we will continue to achieve great things. To women new to the industry, my advice for you is simple: Be you, be relentless in pursuing your passions, don’t ever be afraid to look a challenge in the eye, and always use your unique perspective to innovate new ideas that will shape you and your future in this industry.
