We Are Shipbuilders: Crystal Jones
Published April 23, 2025
“I needed a change of pace from retail and came in as a fitter. I was working in the bakery at Sam’s Club, so I went from baking and decorating cakes to construction. I was determined, and I am loving what I do. I have a sense of purpose and responsibility now, which makes me happy. Every little thing I do, every measurement that I take, every piece of metal that I help the trades set, I’m making a difference.”
