Karen Magianni shares Her Story with Kathy Romano

Karen Magianni, a rising star in the construction industry is the inaugural recipient of the Robert Smith Memorial Scholarship, recognizing her dedication to the historic building trades. 

As a carpenter's apprentice with Turner Construction, Karen is breaking barriers and inspiring others.

From working in various fields to finding her passion in construction, she's faced challenges as a woman in a male-dominated industry.

The building trades aren't just about constructing physical spaces – they're about building opportunities and preserving our city's rich architectural heritage for future generations.

As the first Robert Smith Memorial Scholar, Karen is adding a chapter to Philadelphia's long tradition of master builders, while helping to reshape what the future of construction looks like.
