There’s only one opportunity left to participate in this year’s Women in the Trades event! Joining us this week to speak to participants are Shannon Farley and Amanda Rivetti of Michael Brothers Hauling & Recycling.

Shannon is the HR Director at Michael Brothers. Local to the Pittsburgh area, Shannon graduated from Peters Township High School in 2002. She graduated in 2006 with a major in management and minor in marketing from Penn State Behrend in Erie, PA. Shannon went on to receive her MBA in 2007 from Penn State Behrend. Upon completing her MBA, Shannon moved back to Pittsburgh and worked for a large non-profit for almost 9 years. She started as a HR Intern and moved her way up to the HR Manager. Shannon decided to make an industry change and moved her focus to Michael Brothers Hauling in 2016 as the HR Director. She handles all aspects of Human Resources for the company – recruitment, interviewing, onboarding, safety, orientation, benefits administration, assisting with payroll, employee issues, etc. for approximately 100 employees and is gradually growing the department.

Amanda Rivetti is a welder/fabricator with Michael Brothers. Amanda earned her Associates Degree in Specialized Technology in Automotive Technology from Rosedale Technical College in 2019. She got her passion for working on cars from growing up with friends who repaired and modified vehicles.

Amanda enrolled in the Welding program in the fall of 2017. Upon completing the program in April 2018, she began her career with Michael Brother Recycling as a welder. Within a short year, she was promoted to Operations Coordinator.

Tomorrow is our next Women in the Trades event! We'd like to introduce you to this week's keynote speaker, Erzhi Herman, Lead Service Manager at Hill International Trucks.

Erzhi Herman has 25 years in the automotive and truck service industry. Over the last 14 years with Hill International, she started as a Service Advisor and worked through the ranks as an Assistant Service Manager, Service Manager and presently Lead Service Manager.

In addition, Rosedale Tech alumni Alyssa Summers will be speaking. Alyssa is an automotive service writer at Subaru in Moon Township. Alyssa graduated from PA Cyber School in 2015. During high school, she also studied Nursing at Parkway West Career & Technology Center. In 2015, Alyssa became a mother to her now 5 year old son, Larry. After having her son, she wanted to dedicate her time to motherhood as well as provide long-term financial stability for her family. The time commitment in the field of nursing became too demanding for her schedule so she decided to pursue a career in Automotive Technology. Working on cars had been a passion for Alyssa since childhood while she learned and worked alongside her dad in the garage. She enrolled at Rosedale Technical College in 2018. The ability to go to school full-time, work in the field, pursue a career she is passionate about that provides financial stability, all while being there to raise her son were appealing reasons that made her decision easy and she hasn’t looked back. Alyssa began working at Mr. Tire in 2018 as a technician. Within three months, she was promoted to Assistant Manager. Upon graduation, Alyssa took a full-time position as a service writer for Baierl Subaru International Airport and now with Subaru, Moon Twp. where she resides with her son Larry, fiancé Austin and her parents and grandparents.
