Butera adds architect

Benjamin P. Butera Architecture, 51 W. Granada Blvd, has added a project manager, Brianna Cassisi, to their team.

Cassisi is the second female that has joined the firm within the past few months in a male-dominated industry, according to a company statement.

Only 16% of the American’ Institute of Architects membership is female, despite the fact that about 40% of architecture graduates in the western world are women, Butera said.

The Office of Science and Technology Policy is making an effort to increase female participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects and support efforts to retain women in the STEM workforce, Butera said.

Cassisi was born in Florida and graduated from The University of South Florida. She worked as an architectural designer in Merritt Island for five years.
