Ciara Isabel Gonzalez

Field of Study: Design& Construction Integration, Purdue University

Future Aspirations: As a young Latina woman in construction, I hope to inspire other women and people of color to pursue their passion for building. My advice is simple: if you truly find your passion, don’t let anything stop or derail you from following your dreams. I've faced challenges as I begin my career, and I know there will be more ahead, but I now realize that even with the knowledge and experience I’ve gained so far, I can inspire young adults who want to pursue this field.
