Her Story

About Alina

Alina Cosma has been active in the construction industry since 2005. She initially managed office operations for her ex-husband's construction company, handling tasks such as phone calls, ordering materials, emails, and coordinating with supervisors and subcontractors in Virginia before the company relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2007. She later transitioned to a role as an inside sales representative for a company serving seven builders, where she sells and installs products including windows, doors, siding, and related items. In November of the prior year, Cosma launched her own construction company specializing in siding, painting, and drywall. Originally from Romania, she arrived in the United States in 2002 and completed two years of law school in her hometown. Cosma prioritizes family and faith in both her work and personal life, motivated by her two children to persevere, follow her dreams, and avoid settling for less.
