When I was a child I wanted to be an astronaut probably driven by a natural curiosity and a need to understand how things work.

I love problem solving and delivering solutions to big complex problems, that and working with other collaborative and innovative people makes so much sense out of being an engineer in construction.

As a woman there are some challenges, eg being a minority in the room being an obvious one but occasionally we are the majority in the room so the demographic has seen some shifts over the years.

If you like resolving issues, working in teams and being part of something big, give construction a go!
