Beth started at Opus fresh out of college. "Opus has invested 20 years into developing me into who I am today," she said. Beth serves in her project management capacity and has also played a significant role in recruitment and training. "One of my goals as a recruiter and a trainer at Opus has been to encourage us to be more diverse. There are more and more women that are working inside of construction both on the management side and on the trades. Nothing makes me happier than seeing that."
