Does this story feel relatable to you and where you’re at in life right now?
Instead of being scared of something new that I’d have to completely change my outlook and perspective on, I came in and thought, ‘This is something I want to learn.’
About Jennitsia
- I initially went to school to pursue healthcare—I thought I wanted to become a doctor or nurse.
- After realizing healthcare wasn’t the best fit for me, I transitioned to law enforcement.
- I spent about a year and a half in law enforcement before deciding that it also wasn’t the best fit for me.
- A friend’s dad introduced me to HVAC after I expressed interest in joining a union for electrical work.
- Since starting in the HVAC industry, I’ve gotten to do heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical work—I really enjoy working hands-on to build and fix things.
- I’m currently in the middle of completing an HVAC apprenticeship and also go to school two nights a week at Monroe Community College.
