“I love being a woman in the construction industry. Every team and project needs a well-rounded approach to accomplish goals and I can add a different perspective and approach. I connect with people and build relationships—something that maybe comes a bit more naturally for women. I’m not afraid to challenge people or ideas and get to the root of the issue. This is more difficult when you’re a woman because you can be perceived as difficult and aggressive as opposed to getting to the point and solving problems. With that said, I think it has served me well in my career.”
