them with someone who is. I also am involved in initiatives like the Habitat for Humanity Women’s Build and mentor youth in Chicagoland through iMentor. I am extremely thankful to be named a Notable Woman in STEM, however, there are so many exceptional wom- en who also deserve this recognition. This new title I hold will serve as a platform to help empower other women. Supporting and empowering women is the key for success within STEM industries. A Notable Woman in STEM would use her platform to amplify the accomplishments of fellow women – and that’s what I hope to do. I’m going to con- tinue bringing women alongside my journey, encourage young girls to pursue STEM and show all the possibilities there are within science, technology, engineering and math. You truly can do whatever you set your mind to. How did you advocate for yourself early on in your career? How do you continue to advocate for yourself now? Early on in my career, I found myself quite fortunate. During my time with Environmental Systems Design (ESD), I was lucky enough to be surrounded by a group of strong women in a predominately male company. These women were true rock stars in their abilities. But what set them apart was their dedication. They were a few years ahead of me in experience, so I was able to gain invaluable in- sights from observing how they continuously advocated for themselves. Their influence taught me the significance of being my own advocate. After all, who else could better communicate my abilities? I owe it to this group of women for helping me get to where I am today. My time at ARCO mirrors a similar theme. When I be- gan my ARCO career in 2022, I was introduced to Corie Foley – a female on the leadership team within Tenant Solutions. It was super empowering to be introduced to Corie when I first started, ultimately setting the tone for how ARCO views women in STEM. Additionally, there is an ARCO/Murray group specific for female Project Managers and Superintendents. We meet monthly to celebrate each other’s achievements and foster an inclusive environment. This group ties into how I advocate for myself now. I’m able to pass on lessons learned and help others navigate their careers. Through this, I’ve picked up on different strategies for how to continue advocating for myself and the women I work alongside with. What do you find most fulfilling about your role? What I find most fulfilling is getting to touch a multitude of projects that are all for the same client. Being involved in every project for a specific client allows me to positive- ly impact the quality of the end result. Getting to see the evolution of ten different projects, each with unique de- sign iterations due to working in pre-existing buildings, is what makes my job so much fun. All in all, it’s the technical nature of controlling the quality across multiple projects and building a deeper connection with the client during
