Erica Benigno
After graduating from Illinois State University, I landed a career as a Project Coordinator in the residential construction industry. I quickly fell in love with project management and since then grew my career on the commercial side of the industry in both the lighting and manufacturing sectors. I am ambitious, driven, and thrive in a fast-paced and demanding environment. Through my experience, I have learned and proved to myself what it takes to be successful in a male dominant industry, and how much time and effort is required to see the results I strive for.

The challenges we face daily are what makes life interesting and overcoming them is what makes our work meaningful.
