When my parents built our family home in 1997. I loved seeing that process from the beginning

What are you most passionate about?

Doing the best job I can for my clients, and in general ensuring that my clients get the best out of any construction service providers. I believe in providing the best service possible.

Why did you join NAWIC?

Because I really want to encourage women to be at the forefront of an industry that has always been traditionally male dominated

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

More women in the industry in general, and in particular in roles of higher responsibility, which I think is lacking at times

Don’t let yourself be intimidated by any male counterparts.
