In her words
Drove a route for seven years, run the depot now. Shift work, rosters, and the union all pass through me. Practical help if your workplace runs on seniority and you do not have it yet.
What she can help with
Path to Management
Positioning yourself as management material and earning the first people role.
Only Woman on the Crew
Holding your ground on a site, floor, or shift where no one looks like you.
Work–Life Balance
Building sustainable rhythms without sacrificing ambition.
Excluded from Informal Networks
Getting into the rooms, chats, and circles where decisions are shaped.
Others who cover similar ground
Aisha Bello
Clinical lead · Runs a 40-midwife unit
I run a unit where the work does not pause for anyone's confidence crisis. Good with rota politics, being the youngest person promoted over people who trained you, and shift work with small children at home.
Ingrid Sørensen
Chief engineer · Twelve years at sea
Six weeks on, six weeks off, and for most of those years the only woman aboard. Ask me about isolated workplaces, rotational work with a family, and holding rank when it is not automatically given.
Rosa Delgado
Master electrician · Runs a 12-person crew
Twenty-one years in, I own the company and I still get asked to fetch the foreman. I can help you price a job so you stop underbidding, and handle a site where you are the only woman on it.
