Olivia fell into the asphalt industry while still in college, and got a summer internship working in a quality control lab. She says, “I loved this job so much I immediately joined the Shelly Company full time after I graduated in 2019. During my time there I worked in construction scheduling and mainly estimating. I was fortunate to work with many crews and be exposed to many parts of the company that gave me appreciation for the industry as a whole.”
