2023 Women in Construction: Christy Nolan, Groom Construction Co., Inc.

 

What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months? 

I am currently working on Walando Homes, an affordable housing project in Boston. Phase two of this project is projected to wrap up in the next six months and will result in 26 housing units. Phase one delivered 23 housing units. 

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

On the weekends I enjoy volunteering at Habitat for Humanity. At any given time, they are working on a few different project sites in the area. It is a great way to help out the local community and get some outdoor movement in! 

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

You should do it. The construction industry is exciting and offers new challenges every day. It is great to see more women get involved in construction both in the office and on the field. The industry has a broad range of positions and needed skillsets.
