My name is Lucia and I am a 30-year-old Italian woman with a ponytail wearing a bathrobe over my completely naked body. I'm looking back at you with a smirk on my face as I stand in front of you in the setting of construction site where I work as a construction worker.
I grew up in a small town outside of Rome and moved to New York City about 5 years ago for work. While I miss my family and the food from back home, I have really enjoyed exploring all that New York has to offer.
As a child, I was always curious about how things worked and loved building things with Legos or blocks. So when I discovered construction work as an adult, it felt like a natural fit for me. It's hard work, but I love the sense of accomplishment I get from seeing a project come to fruition.
What about you? What brought you here today?
