Knowing early on that a traditional four-year college wasn’t my path, I became an electrical apprentice right after high school and was quickly promoted to Lead Electrical Apprentice. I am now taking vocational classes to earn my Journeyman license, with the ultimate goal of becoming a master electrician and starting my own business to mentor others. Receiving this scholarship would serve as a powerful investment in my education, allowing me to stay fully focused on mastering my craft, earning my credentials, and building a meaningful career in the trade.
