Name and how long you have been in the industry.
Jewel C. Newell and I have been in the industry for almost 24yrs.
What is your biggest accomplishment and/or proudest moment of your career?
My greatest accomplishment was to start a Technical College, BRIT Technical Institute. But my proudest moment was assisting in the education and employment of over 150 students during my time at Brown Mackie College.
What does this TechNation Award nomination mean to you?
This nomination means that I have been able to add value and mentorship to those in our industry. It tells me that someone gleaned something from what I have shared or done and has been successful because of it. Whether it is getting a job or collaborating with a team member or leader, or just being able to put themselves out there and be able to speak to others, I am thankful to have been able to pour into someone else.
What can we do as Women in HTM to help inspire others in the industry?
We as women in HTM need to continue to share our stories. Find another woman in our industry and offer mentorship and support. Help her find her voice and be heard. We also need to speak with other women: students, homemakers, employees in other industries; tell them about what you were able to accomplish, in a male dominated industry, and that they can do the same.
