What advice would you offer to other women getting into the construction industry?
The first thing that I’d recommend is to start by having confidence in yourself and don’t be afraid to take initiative. This can take form in many ways; taking on a new project assignment at work, learning more about the industry online, and now that we are rounding the corner with COVID-19, attend trade shows and networking events to engage with your colleagues and peers. We just got back from the New York Build Expo and saw a substantial increase in women attending, participating, and related programs. Find ways to get involved and it will only benefit you over time.
