Brenda has been a Member of NAWIC for 1 year and has been working in construction for 15 years. She works at TriCore Panels as a Designer/Estimator.

Why did you join NAWIC?
After growing up in Southern California, I moved to Aptos, California in early 2022. Tricore Panels hired me as their Designer/Estimator. I was new in town so Misha invited me to WIC Week. Immediately I was drawn to the organization, I loved the vibe, the people, the conversations! I knew this was where I belonged so I joined! I knew that by joining I would be able to continue my success in the industry while growing in NAWIC. Then I decided to join the Board because I knew this community is one full of great women with great potential, where it's crucial to support one another in an industry that is dominated by men.
