My leadership as the Director of Workforce Development and Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion at MBA/CAP marks a pivotal stride in advancing our mission. Spearheading initiatives aimed at fostering diversity and inclusion within the construction industry, I have been instrumental in shaping a landscape of educational empowerment for our members and industry partners. Drawing from a wealth of experience, I have forged strong alliances with community leaders, academia, and political figures, poised to address the pressing workforce shortages in skilled and professional roles within construction. Notably, my strategic prowess has driven the creation of a comprehensive marketing campaign and other impactful initiatives to promote careers in the trades.
