What has been the driving force behind your success in the AEC industry? My success in the AEC industry boils down to perseverance and a genuine smile. Staying positive not only breaks the ice but also helps in fostering relationships. This optimistic approach fosters collaboration, making communication smoother and goals more achievable. The blend of resilience and friendliness has consistently worked well, creating an atmosphere where challenges are met head-on, and tasks are completed with a sense of teamwork.

Who or what inspired you to join the AEC industry? My journey into the AEC industry was somewhat of a happy accident. Initially I was drawn to the field through an accounting role and my trajectory took an unexpected turn when I transitioned to a field-based position. It was in this hands-on environment that my passion for construction truly blossomed, revealing a newfound love and appreciation for the intricacies of the AEC industry.
