Thank you Arcadia for standing your grounds and believing in yourself. I am a general contractor doing both commercial and residential renovation in NYC and was faced with some of the same issues. Still is a difficult industry but I am seeing more and more women getting involved. Keep up the good work!!!!

Not only is Arcadio a leader and a woman breaking serious ground in the SF construction industry, she volunteers for us regularly. We rely on skilled volunteers, like Arcadia, to be able to serve our low-income and senior clients and wouldn’t be able to do the work we do without volunteers like her – Arcadia truly has a commitment to the greater community and is super inspiring to work with!

What an inspiration on how you made it “against all odds.” I am a woman, not in a male-dominated field, but it is still hard to make it when you don’t have anybody else to rely on except our Heavenly Father. I’m making it though and it is women like you who show us by example that it can be done. I teach Spanish for construction among other industries and am working on breaking into that field as well. Thanks for the inspiration. I look forward to meeting you in SF.
