Statement: As a woman and immigrant working as a site engineer, I’ve often faced the challenge of being heard — without needing a man to back me up or resorting to being rude just to be taken seriously. These experiences have shown me how vital it is to build a culture where respect is based on knowledge and collaboration. Advocating for mentorship programs that support immigrants, career returners, and underrepresented voices isn’t just inclusive — it’s a smart investment in the future of the industry.
