Describe the proudest moment in your career.

I would say the proudest moment was during my first year as a general manager, when I received Service Experts’ prestigious President’s Club award. The award recognizes outstanding center performance, and it was really an honor to receive that after just one year in the role.

What challenges do women face in this profession? Can you give a personal example?

I think a challenge that all women face is finding the balance between our personal and professional lives. For me, working for Service Experts has given me the flexibility to both be a mom and have a career. It’s always a balancing act, but I think women have a unique, innate ability to multi-task.

How can we increase the number of women in HVACR?

During my time in this industry, I think we’ve done a really good job of adding more women across different fields. Women don’t always think about HVACR, but it’s an industry that needs good leaders just like any other. I think women possess invaluable leadership qualities, so I encourage any female to join this industry and hone those skills.

What does your day-to-day job entail?

As a regional director, I travel to all of my centers at least once a month. That being said, no two days are the same. I’m often working with general managers and other frontline leaders to drive sales activity and control costs, as well as review safety procedures and improve day-to-day operations. But I also make it a priority to get out into the field with technicians and our sales teams as often as I can.

What remains on your HVACR bucket list — what do you aspire to do that you haven’t accomplished yet?

I would love to win the Region of the Year award at Service Experts.

What advice do you have for women who are considering a career in HVACR?

Just do it! This industry is fast-paced, and you’ll learn something new every day. It’s been a great way for me to support my family, meet lifelong friends, and challenge myself in new ways.
