Title: Owner + CEO
Company Name: NYCAN Builders
What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months?
My greatest achievement over the past 12 months was the finalization and announcement of my JV for special projects as well as winning exciting projects that are not set to begin until 2023, 2024. I never anticipated winning work that far out and I am very impressed and pleased and look forward to what the future brings.
Starting out in the construction business, who or what empowered you?
My passion for the industry and wanting to change the way construction/contractors are viewed is what empowered me, what drove me. I wanted clients to feel like they had a true partner in their contractor whether I be a CM or GC to them and I believe I have accomplished just that.
What advice would you offer to other women getting into the construction industry?
My advice to women getting involved in construction is don’t give up. Continue to push ahead and don’t let anything or anyone stand in your way.
