Virginia Department of Transportation Employee

"I've worked for the Virginia Department of Transportation since 2010. Working here was my ultimate dream since all of my dad's friends worked at VDOT and spoke of their experiences often. I have enjoyed all of the projects that I have had the privilege of working on. They have provided me with extensive training for every role that I have had. This training has allowed me to receive promotions continuously. They have also put me in the awkward moments to help me to come out of my shell and grow. I would never have imagined this amount of growth in nine years."
