“The opportunities in this industry are phenomenal for someone who wants to work hard and wants to learn. And that’s not about being female; that’s just about being driven and motivated.”
– Laura Bush, Director of Operations, NYC Metro Region, Consigli Construction Co.
"Don't get hung up on what will be happening a few years down the road. You'll figure it out. You'll build a network. It has to be the career that you're passionate about and that gets you out of bed every day. It has to keep you motivated, present you with opportunities and challenge you".
