Kelly Brcka, Director, Real Estate Partnerships, Airwavz Solutions, Inc.
How long have you been a City Rep for WWLF and what is your territory/region?
I became Dallas City Rep in April 2021
Why did you join WWLF?
I originally joined WWLF several years ago when I was with a wireless staffing/services company because I saw WWLF at several industry events and respected the board members and leaders. Then, I recently rejoined WWLF as I re-entered the wireless industry to network, meet and get reacquainted with the amazing women leaders in our industry.
How has being a part of WWLF impacted you personally or professionally?
Professionally it has been a solid network of smart, compassionate and driven women always willing to open the doors of opportunity and connect the dots for people in our industry. Personally, it has been a great experience truly getting to know some of these women, what is going on in their lives and to share stories. I have also thoroughly enjoyed the mentoring aspect and recommend that to anyone willing and able to devote the time and experience to the next generation.
Where did you get your start in the industry?
Wow, that was so long ago but I originally went to Lucent Technologies/Nokia straight from grad school then on to Nortel. After that, I had a long stint in the energy business and re-joined our wireless world in 2013 with Smartlink, then GTL and All States Engineering.
What is your current role?
Currently I am very happy at Airwavz as Director, Real Estate Partnerships providing solutions for in-building.
What is your favorite Quote?
I have two: Be Fearless is the Pursuit of What Sets Your Soul on Fire by Jennifer Lee and the second is: Nothing is impossible. The word itself says "I'm possible". by Audry Hepburn. I just love her!
How do you define success?
I have two quotes that answer this best: Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it by Maya Angelou (love several of her quotes of wisdom) and the spiritual answer is Success is the fulfillment of divine purpose, while prosperity is having enough divine provision to overcome obstacles!
How would you describe yourself in three words?
Tenacious, positive, driven, empathetic - oops is that four? : )
What do you like to do outside of work?
LOVE anything associated with the water: watching beautiful sunsets on the boat is the very best.....lake, ocean, pool........ I also adore my Schipperke named Bella and I have picked up a knack for gardening, painting and decorating during CoVid.....see it can bring out creativity.
