Work Experience:

My name is Kijana Miller, and I am a military veteran seeking a long-term career in the sheet metal trade. Like many veterans transitioning into civilian life, I have faced challenges and made mistakes in the past, but those experiences have strengthened my determination to build a better future. I am committed to personal growth, hard work, and creating a stable and successful career for myself.


I am looking for an opportunity to learn from experienced professionals, develop valuable trade skills, and become a dependable member of the workforce. I believe the Helmets to Hardhats program can provide the guidance, training, and opportunities needed to help me reach my goals.
