In her words
I sign off structures that carry thousands of people. Contractors still ask whether I checked with someone. Good on technical authority, site presence, and being right in a way that lands.
What she can help with
Being Taken Seriously by Clients
When customers ask to speak to the man who is actually your apprentice.
Only Woman on the Crew
Holding your ground on a site, floor, or shift where no one looks like you.
Self-Advocacy
Asking for opportunities without feeling like you are “too much.”
Unconscious Bias
Recognising and responding when bias shapes feedback or opportunities.
Others who cover similar ground
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.
Valentina Rossi
Winemaker · Took over the family estate
Inherited a vineyard that the neighbours assumed my brother would run. Good on family businesses, succession, and being underestimated by an entire industry for a decade.
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.
