AlexdoesHVAC : Stay Humble, You're Always Learning
Q: What was your reasoning for picking HVAC?
Alex explains that a family member encouraged HVAC, and after trying it, they fell in love with the field despite initial fears about being a woman; the two-year college program helped lay a foundation, and the opportunity to work in residential environments provided early structure before moving toward commercial work.
You learn more when you're out of your comfort zone
Q: What advice would you give to someone just starting in the trades?
Continue learning as much as possible, take on projects outside your comfort zone to push your boundaries, and don't be afraid to ask for help to avoid getting stuck, as growing your skill set is essential for long-term success.
