Julia Su Jack is the daughter of two warm west Indian parents. She was raised in Connecticut. She graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree decades ago and her career started out traditionally as she went straight to work in an architectural firm. But the tide would turn after she took a leave of absence from work to focus on her growing family. When she returned to her career, circumstances would take her through many different professional roles in a variety of sectors across the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. She worked in interior design, pre-construction management, and non-profit construction employment management, project controls in the transportation sector, and more, finally landing as an Architect for Connecticut\\u2019s Capital City.

She would claim that her most empowering and life changing professional experience was in her work at Capital Workforce Partners, in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity, where she endeavored to engage young men and women in the fields of construction. With such a growing, yet still small, pool of female constructors she felt immeasurably passionate about her work.

Julia\\u2019s most transformational experience would be the result of her facing down her 50th birthday, which inspired her to create the F50Woman movement; a movement created to provoke women, facing 50 and beyond, into a mindful, purposeful, passionate pursuit of their life, career, family, spirit, and beyond.

Julia Su. Jack holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Howard University and a Masters in Construction Management from Central Connecticut State University; she is a National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) Certified Registered Architect and a Certified PMI Project Management Professional.
