I love the challenge of solving a difficult renovation problem and coming up with creative solutions.  Because I am passionate about the construction industry and believe there should be more women in the industry, a good portion of my life is dedicated to spreading this message.

~ Rachael, Licensed Builder

The beauty of the health industry is that you never need to be bored. I’ve worked in underground mines, rural and remote communities, hospitals and prisons. I’ve delivered babies and puppies, set a broken leg on a calf, retrieved casualties from underground mines and copper smelters, and worked with high security prisoners.

 ~ Gabrielle, Nurse

If it’s going to be, it’s up to me .... No matter what, keep putting one step in front of the other, it may take more steps some days, but you will reach the destination.
