Reliability is about showing up when things are tough. I completed my final year as an apprentice while six months pregnant, overcoming severe morning sickness and the physical toll of field work to ensure I met my career milestones. Passing my 309A exam a year later was more than just a professional win—it was a testament to my work ethic and my drive to build a stable, successful future in the trades.
Inheriting a passion for the trade from my father, I have dedicated my professional life to the electrical industry since the age of 17. As the first female electrician in my family, I am committed to breaking barriers and maintaining the high standards of workmanship passed down to me. My career is fueled by a dual purpose: contributing high-quality technical skill to every project and serving as a visible role model for both my son and other women pursuing careers in the trades
