Keep reading to learn how Ca\u2019Tia went from a volunteer at her church to co-owning an IT solutions company and becoming an EPA winner.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A leap to leadership<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Ca\u2019Tia discovered a natural talent for sound technology while volunteering for her church, she decided to pursue an audio-visual degree. \u201cAfter obtaining my audio engineering degree, I started working at a local music school as an A\/V technician for the campus,\u201d she explained. During her time there, she gained additional experience in installing, remodeling, and upgrading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2017, a fellow technician on Field Nation called her and told her about the #1 labor marketplace. After spending some time as an independent technician on Field Nation, Ca\u2019Tia decided to join her best friend in starting an audio\/visual solutions company. \u201cWhen we started the business, we hit the ground running, and we haven\u2019t looked back ever since,\u201d she said. Ca\u2019Tia and her business partner used Field Nation as a launching pad to help them grow their company and start taking on work orders.

She spends her evenings preparing for the next day&#8217;s duties, ensuring she has all the necessary documentation ready to take on new work orders. \u201cThe night before an assignment, I like to go over the scope of work and make sure I have all my materials,\u201d she said. \u201cSo when I wake up the next morning, everything is in order, and I can grab my breakfast and be on my way.\u201d This level of organization allows her to tackle both scheduled projects and last-minute calls with efficiency and confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What it means to be an EPA winner<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winning the Field Nation Exceptional Provider Award is a recognition Ca&#8217;Tia doesn&#8217;t take lightly. \u201cThe Exceptional Provider Award is a testament to my hard work,\u201d Ca\u2019Tia explained. \u201cI love what I do, and winning this award tells me that I\u2019m on the right track.
