It was lunchtime in the late 80s. Jennifer Patterson and her friends hurried from their high school to her house to watch a much-anticipated wedding episode of The Young and the Restless. Transfixed by the soap opera, her friends huddled on the floor in front of the TV. And Jennifer? She was off to the side, completely focused on power-drilling her chair.
"The chair was wobbly and it was bothering me," laughs Jennifer, BCIT alumna. "My friends were howling."
Rolling up her sleeves and making things better comes naturally to Jennifer. In fact, she's built a successful career in the construction industry on this very trait. Today, she is the co-founder of Cityscape Management Ltd., which specializes in construction management, strata maintenance and repairs, commercial tenant improvements, and residential construction and renovations.
