Jessica is Past-Chair of WiC Victoria, the VICA Women in Construction committee. Established in 2013 by local industry leaders, WiC Victoria’s focus is to promote and support female participation in the construction industry.

“I feel like I’m setting an example for other young women who might be thinking of a career in construction. Maybe if they see me, it will spur them to think a little more seriously.”
