What do you wish more women knew about the opportunities available in the construction industry today? Being a Woman in Construction has become widely accepted. The AEC industry has so many career options from office roles to field support. There is always room for growth and skill development.

What is one piece of advice or perspective you would share with women beginning their careers in the construction industry? My advice to women who are new to the industry would be to find yourself a good mentor, use your voice and don’t be afraid to fail. Being a Woman in Construction is amazing and I am proud of who I’ve become because of it.

What is something outside of work that brings you energy, balance or creativity? Cooking always gets my creative juices flowing!

Share one fun or unexpected detail about yourself that colleagues might not know. I’ve been singing since I was a child. When I was 16, I wrote and recorded a single.
