1. How did you get into a career in construction?

Like many, I had family members working in the industry. However, unlike most at the time, it was my mother, not my father, who was the engineer.

2. What was/is the project you are most proud of?

I know this sounds cliché, but so far each and every one because I know that my team has made a difference.

3. What are some of your hobbies?

Golf, reading, and exercise.

4. What is some advice you’d give to your 20-year-old self?

Trust your gut, and your values will guide you to the right decision.
