I love this and our team helped create this forum to engage other women and men in supporting the efforts of small, women, and minority businesses. We've seen MANY jobs passed here!

Together with our four children, my wife and I relocated to Greenville, SC from Maryland in 2021. I had begun a career in Financial Services in 2014, and it has been a life changing journey ever since. Now I'm fully aware that it's an industry that deals with a high turnover rate and a lot of ambitious Advisors making cold calls, so it can seem much less stressful to just either stick to whatever you're doing now or to try to go about planning yourself. However, in the last few years, I have set out on a mission to revolutionize the world of Financial Planning. Do you have a visual financial plan in the form of a digital book - what I like to call my 'Playbook'? Would …

Hello everyone! My name is Kara Butler, and I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I am a pipefitter, in the field of operations for a gas company here. Going on my fifth year in the field, YAY! I enrolled in my bachelor's Occupational Safety and Health in 2022-2024 of April to expand my growth within the industry and learn all aspects of construction. I enjoy learning and growing and listening to successful stories and paths with females in all industries! I wanted to thank Christi Powell for inviting me to join this forum! I am very happy to join this group and connect with successful women across the states! 🙂

Hello! I wanted to introduce myself here at forum. I've been lurking for a long time but never had a chance to introduce myself and my business. My name is Anastasia, and I'm an Interior Designer. I own Ana's Design (LLC), that gives consultations, full design service and e-design. As a member of American Society of Interior designers, I'm always eager to learn more and to attend more CEUs. My main focus is on function and comfort of the space, and not only beauty. I always use analogy with shoes: beautiful and uncomfortable shoes are staying at wardrobe, but comfortable ones are used daily. My job is to create the space that fits as a glove to client's needs.…

Hi! I found the podcast while prepping for an inclusion/equity presentation for ABC and NAWIC during WIC week. I’m so glad I did! So many great and inspiring conversations from women (and men) doing the damn thing in Construction. about me: 16 years ago I pivoted from teaching art in elementary school to working in construction. I’m now president of Etolin Strait, an Alaska Native Company and 8(a) federal contractor. Disclaimer! I am not Alaskan. I run the operations. I also chair ABC-VA’s Management Ed committee and recently published a book celebrating admin (with a focus on women in construction) called Buried in Business. I still love to teach, but teaching …

I just discovered the podcast and this forum, and am very happy to be here! Rewinding a couple of months....I also just found out that NAWIC exists and that I have advocates here for becoming a WBE. I really look forward to the inspiration that comes with hearing from other women about your journey in this industry (I believe Christi and Angela referred to it as "male populated" rather than male dominated - love that!). My background is in mental health/substance abuse counseling and I only transitioned into the world of construction about 2 1/2 years ago. So much to learn and so many trails to blaze!
