In her words
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.
What she can help with
Only Woman on the Crew
Holding your ground on a site, floor, or shift where no one looks like you.
Leadership Presence
Owning the room with clarity, calm, and credible authority.
Work–Life Balance
Building sustainable rhythms without sacrificing ambition.
Physical Work & Longevity
Protecting your body and your income across a long career on your feet.
Others who cover similar ground
Helena Novak
Shift supervisor · 12 years on ambulances
First woman to supervise nights at my station. If you work somewhere physical where the crew tests you before they trust you, I have been through that and I know which battles are worth it.
Marta Kowalska
Certified welder · Owns a fabrication shop
Started in a shipyard where the toilets had no lock. Now I hire the apprentices. Talk to me about certification routes, safety gear that actually fits, and buying your first machine.
Ana Ferreira
Depot manager · Former bus driver
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.
