Shawni started as an apprentice in the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers 15 years ago. She is a black woman in a male dominated industry who has had her fair share of obstacles and hard-fought experiences. Those experiences motivated her to go beyond just working in the industry, and to set standards for the industry. Shawni has worked her way into leadership positions within the ranks of the largest union contractors on major projects all over the northeast coast. Her success in the industry is a direct reflection of her determination and skill set. She remained determined not let anything distract her from pursuing her lifelong vision of being a business owner and a visionary. She took what she learned throughout her career, received her Unlimited Master's License, and created Luminary Electrical Contractor, LLC. Her dream is to change the industry by creating a business that reflects a diverse and inclusive workforce that possesses the same skills as those who dominate leadership in the industry today. Her skills as an electrician and natural business sense, ensures Luminary's longevity in the industry.
