“I clearly pursued my goals, no matter what others said or expected of me.”
Did you have a clear idea of what your future would look like when you were a child? How did that evolve? Did your vision come true?
I always knew I wanted a career that involved physics, mechanics, and chemistry. When I started my apprenticeship, I never could have imagined that, after taking a few detours, I would actually end up doing what I love.
Which person(s) or experience(s) had the greatest influence on your decision about what career to pursue, and why?
Back in my day, there weren’t any role models, so I always went with my gut and did what I enjoyed in school working with my hands in shop class and using my mind to study physics, chemistry, biology, and mechanics.
Please tell us how your interest in your profession, field of study, or trade was sparked.
I first showed an aptitude for mechanics in my earliest childhood, when I was assembling complex models or playing with Lego Technic. Later, I did school internships at various trades shops. I’ve been climbing everything ever since I could walk whether it was furniture, trees, or buildings. Later, I climbed on and into the machines at our farm to understand how they worked.
What do you like most about your current job?
The exclusivity and niche I serve, I always hear people say, “I can’t do that; I’m afraid of heights!”, as well as the fact that with every new job, I learn a lot of new things from other trades. However, a basic understanding of mechanics, physics, and electronics, along with manual dexterity, is absolutely essential for understanding other trades.
These qualities have helped me along the way:
An interest in certain subjects and continuing education, a stubborn streak, and my determination to do exactly what I feel like doing at the moment.
If you could give young women some advice, what would it be?
Be brave, be wild, and do what you feel like doing, not what’s expected of you!
