ABOUT rondalynn:
I have been a Senior Project Coordinator at Ryan for 23 years. I started in the Legal Department, and after three years, I saw an opportunity in Construction. I decided it was the perfect time for a change and joined the Tenant Improvement (TI) team, marking the beginning of my construction career. TI projects are fast-paced and numerous, requiring strong organizational, technical, and communication skills—all of which I possess and enjoy utilizing daily. I love the pace and variety that the projects bring.
As a Senior Project Coordinator, what I value most about my position and tenure at Ryan is my unwavering leadership style. I am a highly involved mentor for other project coordinators here. I actively seek opportunities to amplify the voices of those with less experience or who often go unnoticed, particularly women in the construction industry. I strive to create an environment where my team and other coordinators feel comfortable asking questions, taking risks, and learning through growth. I take it upon myself to guide team members in their personal and professional development, beyond my day-to-day job responsibilities. I am not satisfied until I help those around me, especially other women, gain confidence in themselves and their careers. Ryan has provided me with the space to be the person I aspire to be. It is a great place to work and grow in a male-dominated industry.
