How many years have you been in the construction industry:

5 years

When did you decide working in construction was the thing you wanted to do:

7 years ago, I decided to take the leap and study Architectural Technology. Coming from a background of childcare, I was always interested in design and construction but never considered it as a career path I could go down.

After being with a builder for a few years and some encouraging words from people in the industry I went for it and never looked back!

What are you most passionate about?

Design, problem solving and innovation in the industry.

Why did you join NAWIC?

I joined NAWIC for the exclusive events and site visits, the networking and amazing women I have met have been a great bonus.

What would you like to see for the future of women in construction?

An equal environment no matter your gender, a work environment where everyone feels comfortable

showing up and being the best version of themselves.

Words of wisdom or tips for women at the start of or considering a career in construction:

You don’t need to justify your worth to anyone because you have done the work and you deserve to

be where you are!
