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

I’ve always wanted to work in architecture, I don’t remember even considering anything else. Creating buildings/spaces amazed me, how they could be so similar in function yet so feel so different. The built environment can evoke such different ideas, thoughts and emotions, why would I not want to work in an industry that could do this?

What are you most passionate about?

Creating... and everything this encapsulates. 

Why did you join NAWIC?

When I first started working in the industry, a rep mentioned this event she had attented, she was so passionate about the group that organised it... It was NAWIC.

Just more women out there, making their mark in the construction industry!
