Paola Ramirez is a Colombia born New York City raised professional in the Construction industry. Currently works as a Project Manager for Notias Construction, a company specializing in the rehabilitation of affordable housing. Paola's roots in construction started at an early age as she helped her family start a business in the industry. The family business started in commercial cleaning before growing into maintenance and contracting work. The lack of diversity in the field and passion for breaking through barriers of gender bias to make for a more equitable work environment are what primarily motivate Paola in her career.
