Our guest today, Taylor Luckett, is a project engineer at Holder Construction where she coordinates construction projects such as on-site trade management, material coordination, and cost management. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management from the University of Houston and is a member of the National Association of Black Women inConstruction (NABWIC). Tuning in to this episode, listeners will hear how Taylor’s mother, a former engineer, shaped her interest in construction and instilled in her the value of independence and hard work. She talks about being one of few women in her class and the places she has worked, emphasizing the importance of being true to yourself and not compromising what you look like and how you behave in an effort to fit in. Taylor talks about how she stumbled upon construction management after feeling disconnected from civil engineering, why she appreciates the combination of field and office work, and the time management and communication challenges she has faced since entering the workforce in 2018. She also shares the ins and outs of her successful T-shirt company, Style Unrivaled, that she started with her partner while they were still in college.
