“For women starting out in construction, I would say stay confident yet humble and soak in all the information you can. Ask questions and always listen. You have to be a better listener than a talker, but don’t be afraid to speak up if you have valuable input. And finally, staying kind and humble gets you a lot of places with a lot of people. Treat people with the kindness and respect you would want in return, and everything starts to work out smoothly.”
