Just because people have done it longer than you doesn’t mean that you can’t be their boss one day.
About Sidney
- My interest in construction started in middle school while helping my dad with renovations on our house.
- In high school, I participated in a construction technologies vocational program, solidifying my interest in construction.
- I spent the summer between my junior and senior year of high school working for a construction company—the work and pay validated my interest, so I continued to pursue that field.
- After graduating, the company hired me full time.
- While working, I also participated in the carpentry apprenticeship program.
- I pursued an associate degree in construction management as well to set myself up for success if I ever wanted to venture out from carpentry to management.
- After graduating from the carpentry apprenticeship program and earning my associate degree, I was promoted to field engineer, where I now work as a problem solver for construction projects.
