2023 Women in Construction: Jessica Cargile, Ebbrell Architecture + Design

What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months? In the last year there have been many opportunities that Ebbrell Architecture + Design has given me to push my design and project management skills to a new level. One notable project that stretched my abilities was the TraceLink HQ relocation which began during the pandemic. We worked with the client on programming for return-to-office after being fully remote. The outcome was a 70,000 s/f biophilic-inspired space over two floors including a new internal stair. At the completion of this project, the client was extremely satisfied, and believed it met all their needs. 

How are you involved in community organizations and/or charities? My husband is in the military. Before his second deployment, Run to Home Base was started by the Red Sox Foundation and Mass General. The program raises funds to help veterans with PTSD and other invisible wounds. I wanted to help my husband and his fellow soldiers, so I started participating in the run. I have run with my husband, other times while he was overseas, a few times when I was pregnant and then while pushing my children in a carriage. This year, my 14^th, I will be running with my 9 year-old daughter.
