In this season at Level Up Stronger we're speaking with women across the globe who have found careers in the male dominated trades industries. It's often hard for many women to see themselves in these male dominated careers but there are a whole lot of kick ass women who are not only working in trades but thriving, so we explore how they got there, what it's like now, and get their advice on how to get started.
In today's podcast we meet Amanda Cooling, who knew after starting college that it just wasn't for her and she most definitely didn't want to sit at a desk all day. Seven years later Amanda doesn't regret her choice to level up stronger and become a Journeyman Electrician specializing in commercial voice/data/and video. Now Amanda balances this dynamic career, being a mom, and supporting other women through the international brotherhood (or should we say sisterhood) of electrical workers.
