Why I chose a career in construction:
I chose a career in the construction industry because I wanted to do something different. I wanted to break boundaries in an industry that is primarily male. 

What training or education did you need for your current role?
I got my Bachelors in Science in Construction Management with a minor in Business Management. Both have proven to be great assets in my role. I also got my OSHA 10 and my OSHA 30 certification.

What is a typical day like in your position?
A lot of paperwork, whether it be schedules, contracts, submittals, RFIs, etc. I work directly with the owners, architects and engineers as well as the subcontractors and my own team to get the project done.

What do you enjoy most about your career?
I like that it is always changing and growing. Being on the commercial side of the construction industry, I get to be a part of anything from fit-ups and renovations to ground up construction. And the projects range through so many industries like hospitals, offices, restaurants, schools, etc.

What advice do you have for women who want to work in the construction industry?
Don't be afraid to take charge. Show up and show them what you are made of.
