I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. From a young age, I knew I wanted to build.
When I chose to study civil engineering, people told me:
"That’s not a field for women."
I did it anyway.
I studied civil engineering at UNPHU (Universidad Nacional Pedro Henríquez Ureña), and despite the doubts I heard from others, I knew this path was mine.
Eventually, I moved to the United States — with a dream much bigger than the obstacles in front of me.
When I arrived in the United States, I had no roadmap, no capital, and no connections. My dream was simple: to learn, to grow, and to create a better life for my children. I earned my Master’s in Construction Management from Florida International University and started working as a Project Engineer and Project Manager for major construction firms. I climbed with humility, curiosity, and courage. While building my career, I was also raising my children as a single mother. I later became Head of Construction for the City of Fort Lauderdale, proving that women do belong in leadership — especially in construction.
In 2007, during the height of a national economic downturn, I made the boldest decision of my life:
I left my government job and launched Lunacon Construction Group out of my garage.
No capital. No safety net. Just faith, vision, and purpose bigger than my circumstances.
Within days, I secured my first federal contract.
What started with one project became something much bigger. Today, Lunacon has completed 250+ projects across the federal, municipal, and private sectors. We proudly serve clients like:
