Lauryn Gilgallon is the 2023-2024 recipient of the William A. Bianco, Jr. Memorial Scholarship. Kinetics Systems, Inc. established this scholarship to honor William “Bill” Bianco, the foundation’s former President and an MCAA Distinguished Service Award recipient, for his many contributions to the mechanical industry’s continuing advancement.
Lauryn majored in HVAC/R at Ferris State University and graduated in the spring of 2024. She was an active member of her student chapter from 2021-2024 and served as the Community Chair for her chapter. Lauryn previously interned with MCAA Member, Limbach Company LLC, and recently started her full-time job as Limbach’s Sales Associate Representative / Small Projects Manager.
“What I like most about my company is the versatility of options for positions I can fill if I end up finding something that suits me better. There’s flexibility and trust within the company for me to do what I need to do, but I have also noticed the willingness of my coworkers to drop everything, if needed, to help teach me. I’ve gained connections within this industry and that doesn’t mean just as an employee, but as mentors and friends. I found a place of work that I want to start my career. It feels like family.
I grew up mechanically inclined and learned that was a skill where I was really proud of myself. Anything mechanical just made sense to me and I ran with it. Mechanical turned out to be one of my favorite things to keep learning about. I like to build things and make them work, as well as watch them work afterwards. Likewise, I enjoy seeing an owner happy with my work after a project is complete.”
MCAA and the John R. Gentille Foundation congratulate Lauryn on this prestigious scholarship and thank Kinetics Systems, Inc. for their commitment to supporting students interested in pursuing a career in the mechanical contracting industry.
