Board Vice-President

Samantha Downey

Bricklayer

As a union bricklayer who is also in recovery, I’ve learned that rebuilding isn’t just something you do for a living—it’s who you are. Every wall I build reminds me that strength, patience, and perseverance create something that lasts. I have found that my purpose is to help other women in the trades and in recovery discover that same strength - because strong foundations change lives.
