🏀 Fun fact: Our own Kathy Ferrier, a supervisor in transmission vegetation management, was part of the University of Connecticut Women’s Basketball's first run to the Final Four back in 1991. “I feel pretty good. Whatever my small part of it was, it is in the history books. I was proud to be part of Coach Auriemma’s team.” Nowadays, she never misses a women’s or a UConn Men’s Basketball game and plans to cheer them both on as they compete in the NCAA tournament later this week.

Women like Daisy Mae Smith continue to break the barriers in traditionally male-dominated fields. Her interest in construction started when she was 14—she loved watching projects come to fruition from the ground up. That passion turned into a career with us, where she works as a Field Engineering Designer, analyzing how our power supply will serve our new and existing customers. “After years of being told, ‘it’s a man’s field, make sure you have thick skin,’ I’ve come to the realization that you are the only one who can stop you. I wake up each morning and put on the same clothes the guys do. If you want it, go get it.” #wicweek #wicweek24 #26yearsofwicweek #womeninconstructionweek2024
