Celebrating Women in Construction with Melissa Zanooco

Imagine a gender-equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality.

Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.

 

In this series of podcasts celebrating women across construction, we hope to elevate the visibility of women and the role they play in creating a vibrant and thriving construction sector.

 

We discuss ways we can build workplaces where women thrive and celebrate the women who are forging change and building a better future for themselves and for the wider built environment.

 

In this episode, we meet Melizza Zanocco from the Infrastructure Clients Group and she shares with us advice she would give her younger self and discuss all things construction and why encouraging diversity and inclusion at all levels of society is not simply a great idea, but essential thinking.
