Evergreen Mechanical
Vice President Client Relations
Age: 39
Bio: Mesis-Bruno's career was
forged by talking big risks on a
road rarely traveled by women.
From graduating second in her
class at the Police Academy to
providing a safe environment
for 9/11 survivors in the weeks
after their escape from the Twin
Towers, she has succeeded in
unlikely roles.
Today, she is a vice presi
-
dent for Evergreen Mechanical
Plumbing, working with the
most demanding New York City
developers to build the ever-
changing city skyline. She has
mastered the balance of being
a loving single mom and power-
ful construction executive.
Like many in her industry,
she takes part in countless
charities, lending her influen-
ce to raise funds for Tuesday's
Children, Caring to Remem-
ber, and Maestro Cares,
among others. But she takes it
a step further by finding ins-
pirational ways to motivate
change and give back.
In 2006, she was the young
professional liaison for the
American Society of Industrial
Security, assisting college gra-
duates in finding careers in pri-
vate law enforcement and se-
curity technology. In 2017, she
started a mentorship program
for Nontraditional Employment
for Women. This program as-
sists women in developing their
next career path once they stop
working on some of the largest
construction projects in the city.
Her most important prote-
ge is her son DJ. Few people
who know Mesis-Bruno don't
know DJ. He is the center of
her universe and the reason
she works so hard to succeed.
Wanting her little boy to un-
derstand gratitude and servi-
ce, they traveled to the Maes-
tro Cares orphanage in Ponce,
Puerto Rico, in 2019. This is
how she works, raises her son,
and lives every day.

WORDS OF WISDOM:
"W
orking in security, then
watching my mother survive
cancer only to be suddenly torn from
my world, I am keenly aware that
anything can happen at any time. When
it does, it's nice to know I have people
I love to support me. It's also nice to
know I can always be the boss lady of
my own life, just like mom was."
