The inaugural AL DÍA 40 Under Forty event will be a showcase of the most diverse and impactful young professionals in various fields of work across the Philadelphia region.

At the virtual event, taking place August 20, 2020, Jasmine Williams, 27, will be one of the 40 honorees. Currently, she is a Project Engineer at Gilbane Building Company. 

As part of the lead-up to the event, AL DÍA asked each of the 40 honorees the same three questions and collected their responses. 

Here are Jasmine Williams’ responses:

My biggest challenge in my professional journey has been “Working twice as hard for half as much.” I’m hopeful that, in my lifetime, equal pay will be more than just an idea or a dream.

My proudest achievement in my career is serving as a mentor for high school students interested in Architecture, Construction, and Engineering (ACE). I’m proud to share my experiences—ups and downs— and inspire the next generation of leaders in the ACE industry.

True inclusivity happens when every employee understands the value of diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
