Statement: Sisia’s journey in construction began with a love for building and creating — but along the way, she discovered an even bigger purpose: helping to build change. As a woman navigating a traditionally male-dominated industry, she knows firsthand the challenges and the opportunities that come with breaking new ground. That experience sparked her passion for championing diversity, supporting women in construction, and shining a light on the importance of mental health in the workplace. For Sisia, construction isn’t just about bricks and beams — it’s about people. She’s dedicated to inspiring others, opening doors for the next generation, and shaping a culture where wellbeing and belonging are part of the foundation.
