Keynote Speaker at the Future Building Women in Construction Event in Galway!

I had the privilege of speaking at the Women in Construction event in Galway, held by Future Building on Tuesday 3rd December 2024, where I shared insights and inspiration with an incredible group of women eager to break into the construction industry.
It was amazing to see so many talented, passionate individuals who are ready to challenge stereotypes, innovate, and pave the way for the next generation of leaders in construction.
I spoke about the many diverse opportunities our industry has to offer and how no two days, never mind no two projects are ever the same! My message was clear: Construction needs more women! From project management to engineering, design, and beyond, there’s a place for every skill set and every passion.
Thanks to Alan Brady of Future Building for having me and I look forward to many more events like it in the future!
