Recently, Stephanie and Susan were featured in New England Real Estate Journal’s “2021 Women in Construction.” After a challenging year, these determined women talk about how they adapted their lives and careers in the last twelve months. They also explain how they would encourage other women to pursue a career in the A/E/C industry. Check out their spotlights below!

Susan Pinckney, Senior Interior Designer, Associate

How have you adapted and changed in the last 12 months? I certainly appreciate that I can work in a more focused manner without the constant stream of interruptions that comes from being in an open office. I am also much more aware of the stresses that I was living with every day before WFH. My 45 minute commute is an obvious one but other trivial things like; ”Do I have enough gas in my tank and air in my tires?”; “What am I going to wear to work?”; “What can I take for lunch?”; Not having to anticipate these little decisions is a breath of fresh air.

Stephanie Beals, Marketing Manager

How have you adapted and changed in the last 12 months? I have really focused on what makes me happy; finishing tasks on my to-do list; and minimized my social media use. There is such a feeling of accomplishment when you finish something and knowing what makes me happy brings calm into my life. 

Why should women consider a career in the A/E/C industry? I took one of those career placement tests in high school and I was no closer to knowing what I wanted to do. I actually started out in college as a Physical Education major, switched to Business and went on to get an MBA in Information Technology Management. The A/E/C industry is always evolving and finding new innovative ways to do things. If you want to be a part of that innovation, there are so many career options within A/E/C. I am always fascinated with all the nuances that go into the planning and design process.
