2023 Women in Construction: Bridget Cooke, Dacon Corporation
Project Coordinator
Dacon Corporation
What made you interested in seeking a career in the AEC industry? My dad was an engineer growing up, and I had always been interested in design and pursuing something in a creative field. He encouraged me to consider a career in architecture, where there would be a good amount of job opportunities and room for career growth. I’ve found that architecture has been a good happy medium for me, where I am learning technical skills as well as still being able to use that creative side.
How are you involved in community organizations and/or charities? I am a member of the IIDA and had the opportunity to be on the IIDA Fashion Show committee this year, working on graphics for the show. This past year I also volunteered with the Appalachia Service Project (ASP) organization down in West Virginia, helping with residential repair projects throughout the region.
