This October, we’re excited to highlight Abby Blackwell for Connect with Cooper! Learn more about Abby, her years of service at Cooper Steel, and the impact she continues to make on our team. 🤩

"I began my career at Cooper Steel as an intern, and while in college, I was hired part-time as an administrative assistant. This role helped me build a strong foundation for my career as I assisted the HR and Accounting departments with various tasks. An opportunity then arose for me to join the accounts payable department, and it proved to be the perfect fit. Since then, I have worked my way up from assistant to specialist and now manager. 

I would not be where I am today without the amazing leaders who have guided me and poured wisdom into me over the last seven years. The accounts payable team and the accounting department as a whole are truly family to me, and they motivate me to show up every day and go all out. I am excited to continue striving for growth within myself, my team, and the company."
