What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months?

My greatest professional achievement would be managing my different roles within the company while continuing to grow. I started two years ago with my Grade 4 Wastewater Operator license. Since then, I have joined our compliance and maintenance teams in addition to operations. Within those two groups, I’ve helped develop systems we use today, taken on the reporting for all our sites in Connecticut and all our Title V sites, and am learning drinking water reporting this year.

What tips or advice would you offer to other women who are considering entering the construction industry?

The advice I would offer other women is that if you want to be in this field, then go for it. Do not get discouraged by anything and keep pushing towards your goals. Even if you feel intimidated because it’s mainly dominated by men, know that women can make it in this industry too.
