I used to be stuck in feelings of hopelessess.
In 2016, as the single mom of four kids going through a divorce, I found myself wondering, “Now what, I have been a stay at home mom for 6 years. How am I going to provide for my family and what do I want to do with the rest of my life.”
Prior to being married, I spent my 20s climbing the leadership ladder in the retail world. At 21, I was promoted to one of the youngest managers in the history of Brinker, then by 24 I was a GM for another restaurant chain (managing lots of different personality types. At 27, I was an Area Training manager and assistant Area Director for a grocery store chain. I loved what I did, but I hated the non conventional hours. Ultimately, I left it all behind and moved to Japan to support my then husband’s military career.
I knew I did not want to go back into the retail world and work the hours and climb the corporate ladder yet again, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted to be when I grew up… this time. I realized I did not know many people in Utah, and if I wanted to get the right job for me, I needed to meet the right people. After a few months of waiting tables and bartending, I had begun to build a great network of people, and had decided that outside sales would be a great fit for me as a single mom, but that was a bit scary, so I wanted an industry that was stable. Construction made sense, and as someone who loves to make a difference, bringing feminine perspective to a predominantly male industry lit my soul on fire.
Thus it began, from working the front desk at SRS, learning all things roofing to being a sales manager and eventually a general manager for a Utah Roofing company, I came into the roofing industry eager to learn and grow. I got my general contractor’s license to become the qualifier for the company that I was working for as the GM, and unfortunately due to legal complications that company went out of business. So, now I found myself with a great team, doing something I loved, and I was licensed to start my own roofing company, and so I did. Through hard work, innovation, perseverance, and commitment to service, within just a couple of years I find myself running one of the top-rated roofing companies in Utah.
