What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months? My greatest professional achievement in the last 12 months has been the opportunities I have had to teach young women about the career potential in the industry and serve as a mentor to future leaders. I feel a great responsibility to help train and develop, as well as try and culture the younger, up-and-coming staff, because that was me earlier in my career and I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support and mentorship of other women leaders.

What tips or advice would you offer to other women who are considering entering the construction industry? My advice for other women who consider entering into a career in the construction industry is to not get discouraged – there will always be people trying to put you down but there will also always be the ones who will lift you up. Find those who will foster your career growth and learn as much as you can. Great leaders will help you succeed and reach your full potential.
