ABOUT AUDRA

I’m a mother of two and proud to identify with this first, as it is truly the hardest yet most rewarding job I have been blessed with. My son is in the Navy Reserves and holds a full-time government job assisting the Navy out of the Port Hueneme Naval Base. My daughter is graduating from high-school this year and is wanting to travel a bit before she embarks on an education/career in the fashion industry.

After a 2-year battle with Stage 4 Head & Neck cancer from 2018 to 2020, I was forced to close the doors to my med-spa business, where I helped women feel empowered every day. I thought to myself, What could I do that would still be rewarding but exciting and challenging all at the same time? And here I am…RECRUITING!

I am certain my knowledge of the electrical vertical will compliment and marry the two spaces perfectly! It has, and will always be my goal to help others advance their careers while helping companies to build and thrive more effectively.

What is your favorite thing about the Construction Industry?

What makes the construction industry so great is that it is generally the most stable industry, as there is always a need for new construction, re-build or maintenance.

It provides a platform for those who have the need and desire to work with their hands and enjoy the physical result of their efforts and labor. Not everyone is the 'four-year college degree' type, and much of construction can be learned through vocational schooling, apprenticeships, and hands-on training.

Without construction, we wouldn’t have our homes, restaurants, beautiful malls, our favorite sports venues, and the list goes on!

What are some hobbies/Interests?

I love spending time with my kids, wine tasting, spending time at the beach, traveling to tropical locations with my better half, and just being in the water…the ocean, pools, and lakes! Take your pick. ;)
