Women Leaders in Public Service - Julia Laue

Julia Laue is the principal architect and bureau manager for the Bureau of Architecture at Public Works. An Oregon native whose initial short-term move to San Francisco ended up stretching into decades, Laue’s love for the City and its spectacular architecture and natural beauty runs deep. But in the traditionally male-dominated profession, there were challenges, too, from enduring catcalls on job sites to getting disrespected by male peers. Laue talks about the need for women to step up and not shy away from being more assertive, shares tips on preparing for a job interview and highlights the importance of showing empathy as a manager.
