What challenges have you faced as a woman in this field, and how have you overcome them?
"Earning a seat at the table. There is sometimes an assumption that women don't belong in the field, especially in the construction industry. I continue to overcome this bias by ensuring that I am a valuable resource when I show up to a project or provide other safety support."
What advice would you give to other women considering a career in construction or safety?
"Never stop learning. If you want to bring value to the position, you must continue learning about the different trades, emerging technologies, improved work processes, etc. It is a very dynamic industry, and the better you understand, the more relevant you will be."
