In early March, Collins took the helm as vice president of Massachusetts-based Collins Construction Co. Inc. After graduating from the construction management program at Roger Williams University, Collins focused her career working with larger general contractors and national construction management firms.
Wanting to bring her expertise back to her local area, Collins worked her way up in the business that her family founded in 1928. Even a generation ago, a female was not allowed to take a management leadership role. Now that this has changed, Collins hopes to lead the way for other women at Collins and beyond.
