It was a complete joy to have this genuine, engaging panel at Friday’s “Careers in Construction” event. We look forward to sharing some nuggets of wisdom gold in upcoming posts! Thank you to ASCE Orange County Construction Institute for making this event happen. Thank you to Latitude33 and McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. for sponsoring the food.

Rachel Carr joined Women in Construction Operations (WiOPS) in 2022, excited by the vibrant community and fantastic networking events. She loves the connections she’s forged and the insights she’s gained from inspiring female leaders in the industry. Proud to be part of a predominantly female office at BKF Engineers, Rachel celebrates the strides women have made in construction and encourages young women to speak up and seize opportunities. Her enthusiasm and commitment to fostering a supportive environment make her a true champion for women in the field!

We're looking forward to our collaboration event tomorrow with ASCE OC CI! https://lnkd.in/gyBMZz9s Please share with any young professionals considering the construction industry.
