ROCKY HILL, CT. (WFSB) – March is women’s history month, and a lot of women in Connecticut are making strides!
That includes two who are shattering the glass ceiling in the world of construction.
Cheslie Sanon is an electrician with Medford Wellington and Becky Lacey is an HVAC technician.
“That stereotype that only men can do this job… That you don’t have the physical strength to do it or whatever, it’s ..there are times when we have to think smarter not harder to do this job but we still get the job done sometimes better than our male counterparts ..sometimes not better but it’s just that scared feeling that you’re going into a male dominated field that you just get uncomfortable but it’s finding a good company like we have that’s going to help with that,” said Lacey.
Medford Wellington is based in Massachusetts, but they have an office in Rocky Hill. They are responsible for serving a great portion of New England.
“You need heat and you need air conditioning and you need somebody to fix it and you have to have power somebody has to be able to work on that,” continued Lacey.
Sanon and Lacey are the people who do just that, making sure your heat, hot water, air conditioning and power are on and working properly. They’re hoping to inspire the next generation to think about the trades.
“We are stronger than most people think,” said Sanon.
But they are just as capable and happy to work at a job they love.
