2023 Women in Construction: Emily Thibeault, Garland Building Company

What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months? My greatest professional achievement in the last 12 months was having our Brightcove project featured as the September project of the month. Seeing the photographs I took along with the article I wrote published was a wonderful feeling. We got it framed and displayed in our office. I love walking past it and seeing my work be appreciated. 

How are you involved in community organizations and/or charities? I was lucky enough to be the marketing director for the 2023 St. Patrick’s Day Parade! I got to work alongside so many incredible veterans and members of the South Boston Community. Later this month, I will be speaking at the Feminist Anti-Violence, Children Living with Domestic Violence International Conference held at the University of Ottawa to help raise awareness of the lifelong impacts of coercive control and domestic violence. I am on the SMPS programs committee and recently got involved with the ACE Mentor program! I love volunteering whenever possible and hope to continue giving back to the community.
