KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Becoming an architect takes a minimum of 7 years, so property owners can be confident that they have good reasons for the advice they provide.
  • It is best not to put all of your eggs in one basket.
  • When you work in an industry that has few female role models, it is hard to find mentors.
  • Male construction workers over a certain age still don´t expect to see a female architect working on a project.
  • Being judged by some just because she is a woman was not great, but it did make Mary push harder and learn faster.
  • Most negative experiences can be turned into positives.
  • Building knowledge will help you to become more confident.
  • Be proud of what you do and don´t be afraid to show it.
  • The more confident you are in yourself the more opportunities you will get.
  • When you are involved in the property world your online persona is especially important.
  • On social media lots of people in the property world like to hear from females, which is a great opportunity.
