2023 Women in Construction: Aurora Perreault, Patriquin Architects

How are you involved in community organizations and/or charities?

Starting in school I was involved with NOMAS, the National Organization of Minority Architecture students where I was president of our schools chapter for 2 consecutive years. Through this position, I was able to use the resources available to me to develop multiple events including an architecture-focused career week which works to develop students’ skills and get them connections with industry professionals. The connections I made with my peers and industry professionals within that organization made me feel more at home within the construction industry as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. As a result of those experiences, I have since become an active member of NOMACT.
