MEMBE R SPOTLIGHT

Hafa Adai Everyone,

This month we are proud to spotlight our Chapter member, Ms. Drina Pelobello. Drina is also one of our Chartering Members and currently works as the Safety/Operations Manager Assistant at OSH Solutions Guam, a company that offers safety consultation and safety trainings as well as grounds keeping services. Drina is a certified training provider for CPR, First Aid and AED through the American Red Cross. She believes safety is an important aspect in all daily tasks and thoroughly enjoys her job. She is currently enrolled in the Construction Industry Technician (C.I.T.) Course offered by NAWIC and is working hard to be a certified C.I.T. by the end of this year.

Drina joined NAWIC to “network with amazing ladies”. Since joining, she has benefited from the opportunities NAWIC provides to expand her education and network with NAWIC Guam’s supportive membership that encourages growth and develops leadership for every one of our members.

Drina’s biggest inspiration is her mother, Ann Marie Pelobello, our Chartering President-Elect. Drina feels that her mother is the greatest example of motivation and determination. She most admires how Ann Marie does not let any obstacle come between her and her goals. Inspired by her mom’s example Drina’s motto and advice to others is “Do not let the obstacles you will have to overcome get in your way or discourage you, push through and DO NOT GIVE UP! It will all be worth it in the end.” Ann Marie and Drina are the first NAWIC members to span more than one generation in our Chapter!

Drina is born and raised in Guam and loves the feeling of a project completed that she took a part of on her home island. When she is not running or relaxing on the beach, you may find her at a pool table! We are so proud of all Drina has accomplished and cannot wait to see how she will continue to grow and develop professionally as a woman in construction!
