Sylvia Roberts, Carpenter - Local 327, Ver-Tex Construction

Years in the industry: 5 1/2 years

Why did you choose the Construction Industry? For me being a carpenter has always been a dream. I love being a Union Sister Carpenter in the Brotherhood. It was the best decision I ever made. It gets me to prove to myself that I can conquer anything as long as I put my mind to it. I love to work hard. It’s taught me discipline and given me a way to feed my family. 

Advice/Keys to Success: The best advice is SAVE AND BE SAFE.
