Over the course of her Webcor career, she has worked on a wide range of projects including graduate student housing at the University of California San Diego; Cal Memorial Stadium in Berkeley; Illumina Campus at Lincoln Centre in Foster City, and Menlo Gateway Phase 2 in Menlo Park.
McCue has also assumed a leadership role with Women of Webcor, one of the company’s employee resource groups. She also continues to mentor female students from Purdue as part of the university’s Women in Construction organization, guiding them through summer internships and lending support as they start their careers. She was handpicked by Webcor and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce to participate in Leadership San Francisco, a yearlong program dedicated to developing future community leaders.
