2023 Women in Construction: Caitlin Space, Noonan Brothers Painting

What made you interested in seeking a career in the AEC industry?

My interest in the AEC industry started at a very young age but it was ultimately my 9^th grade math teacher, Mrs. Kinney, that helped guide me into this field by recommending I take an architectural drafting course. From there my interest only grew and I went on to study architecture and eventually began a career in the industry.

What tips or advice would you offer to other women who are considering entering the construction industry?

There are endless opportunities in the construction industry, especially for women. You just have to be willing to put in the time and effort, think quickly on your feet, and sometimes get your hands a little dirty. The ultimate reward is being able to walk through a finished project knowing you helped build something great.
