Alumnae Au Courant April 2016 Alumnae Profile: Kristina Benza '07 After receiving a bachelor's degree from Villanova University in 2011 and a master's degree from New York Medical College in 2013, Kristina Benza '07 decided to pursue her true passion in the construction industry. In 2013 she followed in her family's footsteps and became CEO of the family business, County Fabricators. Upon taking over, she launched an intensive marketing campaign that resulted in County Fabricators' first official contract on the new Tappan Zee Bridge, with many other large projects also contracted in the New York City area. Since Kristina took over as CEO, the company has more than doubled in size and has been certified by some of the most prestigious organizations in the industry, including the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), American Welding Society (AWS), and, most recently, certification by New York as a Woman Business Enterprise. Kristina became a certified welder in 2014, allowing her to be even more hands-on in the shop. In 2015, Kristina was nominated for and won the Mili Award from "Westfair CommunicationsFairfield and Westchester Business Journals" and "Wag Magazine." This award honors the top professionals ages 21-34 from Westchester and Fairfield Counties.
