Business Development Representative 

When did you start in the construction industry: 

2013 

When did you decide working in construction was the thing you wanted to do: 

I started working part time at a merchant after studying whilst starting my own business in another industry. A year in I was hooked, everything just clicked and I realized construction was the industry for me! I closed my business, went full time and have never looked back. I was/ am lucky to have worked with some very passionate people who inspired and pushed me forward especially in the early days and always reminded me because I was a 'female' I would have to work harder and be smarter than the boys, so I made sure I did and I was. 

What are you most passionate about? 

Education. I love that our industry is always evolving and there is something new to learn everyday! A big part of my current role is educating those who work with our products- talking about alternative solutions, compliance and working collectively to achieve a goal. 

Why did you join NAWIC? 

When stepping into my current role I was shown support from (unbeknown to me at the time) NAWIC members. When they asked if I would like to join/ be involved it was a no brainer. I have been supported by so many woman throughout my career in this industry and I hope I can offer the same encouragement, support and make an impact in return.
