Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway

“I was lucky to be a part of the Empowering Women Mentorship Program in the fall of 2022. I am so thankful for the opportunity I had and for the amount of growth I have seen since starting. This program not only helped me find strength in myself but also put me in contact with some amazing men and women throughout the electrical industry. My mentor guided me to ‘find the fear and do it anyway’ and I will be forever grateful to her, my company and the program for this opportunity.”
