We all have a story about how our careers came to be. Mine begins the summer vacation of my freshman year in High School. During that summer, I got a part time job as an electrical helper to my uncle. I found trouble shooting and bending conduit interesting although sometimes, I had some rough crawl space crawling and attic crouching days. I was not set on it, but I had an idea of what I wanted to do after high school.
As the years flew by and I encountered life’s challenges, I ended up working for multiple residential and commercial electrical companies that I cannot say many good things about. My luck changed when I got the opportunity to work for one of the largest industrial electrical contractors in Illinois. They accepted me into their 5-year apprenticeship. During my apprenticeship, the company owner gave a speech about the humble beginning to his success and hearing it sparked my desire to build a company like his one day.
A few years after completing my apprenticeship, I started at a new company with the determination to lead projects. Doing so brought my problem solving, communication, and leadership skills to a whole new level. A couple of years of helping the company gain hundreds of thousands in profit later, I got the opportunity to join the IBEW and seized it. While working with the organization, I started helping friends and family with their electrical issues and found out I enjoyed doing so. I realized that I felt more satisfied with my life when I was helping people solve their electrical issues than when I was working for a weekly check from a company. You can say I fell in love with problem solving.
I opened E&N Electric LLC alongside Elder Cortez in January of 2021. Since then, E&N Electric has been providing quality electrical services at a fair price. My Economics and Business degree from Northwestern University prepared me for the challenges that come with running the administrative side of E&N Electric. My tasks include taking initial phone calls and sending out invoices. I also keep our insurance policies and Electrical Contractor registrations up to date. I am the N in E&N Electric.
I am also a mother to my young daughter Rosa, and I love to travel with my family in my free time.
