Chelsey Nikita, Executive Assistant to the Vice-President, P3 Procurement

In recognition of International Women’s Day on March 8, we will be highlighting some of the women who contribute to the bridge project. Chelsey Nikita was one of the first five employees hired at WDBA and is currently the Executive Assistant to the Vice-President, P3 Procurement. Chelsey said with a project this large and with so many aspects to consider, her role in helping to keep her vice-president, Marta Leardi-Anderson organized, allows Marta to focus on the bigger issues that may affect the company and project.

Reflecting on the theme of “BeBoldforChange,” Chelsey said “I was raised by and work with very strong women. If there is anything I have learned as a woman in the workplace, no matter where you are in your life, you can absolutely achieve what you set your mind to if you’re willing to stand up for yourself and work hard for it.”
