Katia Isabel Lucey Sanz Earns Top Honors on the CDT Exam
Each year, CSI bestows the Moll-Betts honor on the individual who earns the highest score on the CDT exam. Achieving the highest score is a testament to the commitment, effort, and comprehension of this valuable resource for project architects, contractors, contract administrators, material suppliers, and manufacturers’ representatives.
Katia Isabel Lucey Sanz, the 2021 Moll-Betts award winner, shares her perspective on what it took to earn this elite certification and record the highest score.
What does this recognition mean to you?
It means work hard and you’ll be rewarded. Don’t expect recognition, if you are passionate about the things you’re doing, then good things happen. I read about the award, and I remember thinking “…can you imagine? Nah, don’t be excited, I’m sure there are plenty of smarter people who will be fighting for it. So, just focus on doing it (the CDT test) right.”
What did it take to earn this honor?
Not thinking about the award, haha. I was focused on learning, using this opportunity to prepare for matters that are closer to reality in the industry than what is usually learned at university, not saying it’s not important, just highlighting the practicality of the CDT test.
I always give the best of myself to whatever task or challenge. The CDT test was no exception. I wasn’t thinking about winning the award, I was thinking of giving my best. That makes me feel proud and helps grow my confidence and motivation.
