Laoise joined Browne as an Environmental Sustainability Apprentice and quickly became part of a supportive community that builds confidence and belonging.
Inspired by women in senior roles, she’s empowered through mentoring, training, and industry events to lead in a male-dominated field.
“My colleagues have been really patient and understanding—it’s given me a stress-free space to grow and learn. Seeing other women succeed in the built environment shows what’s possible.”
