Christine Espinosa-Erlanda, senior associate, Godwin Austen Johnson

“I always advise architecture students to start off by joining smaller boutique firms and build their foundation there. I highly recommend young women take the opportunity to go out onto a construction site to get their hands dirty and learn how a structure is built from the ground up. Visit hardware shops, speak to suppliers and just keep asking questions. There is fulfilment in knowing that you are part of the creation process and that your contribution made a better place to live in the future. I like to give back by mentoring colleagues, sharing helpful experiences and actively encouraging young women to join our industry, in the most honest way possible.”
