Elena Ortiz-Fuentes
Commercial & Infrastructure Estimator ,
Champion Specialty Services Provider
Hello! My name is Elena, a 23-year-old born into a first-generation Mexican American family, where I imbibed the values of hard work and perseverance from an early age. Fueled by my passion for construction and a desire to shatter stereotypes, I decided to fearlessly pursue a career in the industry, complemented by a Bachelor's in Architecture from New York Institute of Technology. Today, I thrive as a commercial and infrastructure estimator, leveraging analytical mind and meticulous attention to detail to excel in a traditionally male-dominated field. With each project I undertake, not only do I showcase my expertise but also serve as a beacon of inspiration for others from similar backgrounds, demonstrating that with determination and resilience, barriers can be overcome. Beyond my professional endeavors, I'm dedicated to giving back to my community, offering mentorship to aspiring young professionals and advocating for diversity and inclusion within the construction sector. As I continue to carve my path in the industry, I remain steadfast in my commitment to driving positive change and creating opportunities for future generations of diverse talent.
