‘I knew that building a home was something so spacious. We don’t just create the home. We create love between people and dreams. We make their visions become a reality.’ 

I thought, and then I got this strong feeling I knew I could do better. Still, I was scared, so I worked many years with a fantastic company and then gained experience. Of course, as a woman, the path wasn’t easy, and I didn’t get the same opportunity that a man would have had, so I finished my master’s in construction at Columbia University, and then I developed a company from design to Design Build Company; 

When asked if she had ever faced a challenge, she said: ‘There’s a big gap between men and construction from pay to the opportunity that needs to be closed; of course, sexism is higher in our industry. But I’m here to make a difference and inspire any woman who wants to work in construction.
