At McGrath, building tomorrow isn’t just about structures — it’s about people. It’s about the leaders, problem-solvers, innovators, and collaborators who show up every day to move our company, our customers, and our communities forward.
This Women’s History Month, we’re proud to celebrate the talented women across McGrath who help shape our success in meaningful ways. From the field to the office, from operations to leadership, their impact is felt in every corner of our organization.
We asked several women throughout McGrath one simple but powerful question: What makes you proud to be a woman at McGrath?
Their answers reflect the strength, support, opportunity, and momentum that define our culture — and remind us that when we invest in people, we truly are building tomorrow, every single day.
Chris Snyder
“I’m proud to be a woman at McGrath because I’m valued for my leadership, not defined by my gender. Even in an industry where women can be the underdog, the culture here reinforces that our potential is limitless. We matter.”
Rhonda Crowe
“I’m proud to be a woman who has spent 40 years at the company because I’ve had the privilege of growing alongside it. I’ve watched the workplace evolve and have overcome challenges that shaped both my career and my confidence. One of my greatest honors has been mentoring others — especially women — as they build their own paths forward. My moto is simple: I believe the way you walk through the door sets the tone for your entire day.”
Tara Wescott
“What makes me proud to be a woman at McGrath is knowing I’m setting an example for my children. I was raised by a strong single mom, and that perspective stays with me, especially showing up, doing your best, and staying committed no matter the role. McGrath allows me to grow professionally while also being present for my family. I want my children, especially my daughter, to see that you can be a mom first while building a meaningful career, and be proud of both.”
Maria Castro
“I’m proud to work for a company that believes in developing its people, both professionally and personally. When I started eight years ago as a Material Handler, I never imagined the growth and opportunities ahead. Today, I’m grateful to be a Warehouse Lead, working with an amazing team that makes coming to work rewarding every day.”
Shaprie Jackson
“Simply put, I'm proud to be a woman at McGrath because of our culture. It's inspiring to be surrounded by leaders who genuinely value capability, results, and integrity. In our industry, it's empowering to see women in leadership roles and at every level of the organization, driving strategy, operations, and innovation. I'm proud to work in a place that recognizes talent and encourages you to grow, lead, and challenge yourself.”
Krissy VanTrease
“I’m proud to be a woman at McGrath because this is a place where leadership is measured not just by outcomes, but by the care we show people along the way. My first interaction with Joan McGrath in 1992 lit a path for me. She modeled a rare kind of strength: compassionate, driven, and deeply grounded in the belief that when you take exceptional care of your people, they’ll take exceptional care of the business, and the results will follow. That legacy continues to inspire me to lead with heart, raise others up, and help build a culture where everyone can thrive.”
Gilda Malek
“I’m proud to be a woman leader at McGrath because our culture genuinely values everyone’s participation—inviting all voices, perspectives, and ideas, and creating space for people to grow and lead in their own way. We win by playing team sports here, showing up for one another with trust, respect, and a shared commitment to being better together.”
Women’s History Month is a moment to celebrate, but our commitment extends far beyond a single month. At McGrath, we’re dedicated to creating meaningful opportunities, fostering mentorship, and ensuring that every team member has the support to grow and lead. By continuing to invest in our people and champion diverse perspectives, we strengthen not only our workplace, but the communities we serve. The work doesn’t stop here — and neither does our commitment to building what’s next.
