Meet the Founder

Why Tap The Trades Exists.

Tap The Trades wasn’t dreamed up in Silicon Valley. It was built by Diondria, a New Yorker who learned early that if you want something, you earn it. That belief carried her through a career in business management, policy, and team-building.

At 40, a health scare made her stop and ask what she was really here to do. Her answer was to use what she’d learned to help other people get past the same ceilings she’d hit. Tap The Trades is that work, aimed at the MEP trades. It connects skilled tradespeople with the companies that need them.
