Marisa Taylor holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Rutgers University and is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Construction Management from Drexel University.  She has been involved with life-cycle engineering and construction projects for well over a decade.  As Lead Cost Engineer for a major international engineering and construction management firm, Marisa was part of the team that recently completed a $315 million, 214,000-square-foot vaccine manufacturing facility.  This facility went on to receive the Facility of the Year Award for Facility Integration from The International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE). In addition, Engineering News-Record (ENR), a leading U.S. trade publication providing news, analysis, commentary, and data for the construction industry, selected the project for the 2011 Best Industrial/Manufacturing Award. The project was completed in two years, 40 percent faster than industry benchmarks.   As Marisa enters into a new venture within the construction industry, she encourages other women to consider a career in the industry because it is a challenging and rewarding business.  Marisa’s new venture capitalizes on her entrepreneurial spirit.  Her next undertaking is to revamp the safety toe construction boot.  Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must fit properly in order to be most effective.  Marisa often finds it difficult to locate safety toe construction boots that fit properly and offer an esthetic appeal; this difficulty thus gave birth to Tailleur Couture Co.  Marisa is proud to create a company that embraces and caters to the footwear needs of women in construction.
