In her words
Twenty-seven years and I still take apprentices. If you work with your hands and worry about what your body will be like at sixty, or about charging properly for craft, come and talk to me.
What she can help with
Physical Work & Longevity
Protecting your body and your income across a long career on your feet.
Pricing Your Work
Charging what the work is worth, and holding the number when it is questioned.
Apprenticeships & Certification
Getting into the training, the union, or the licence that gates the work.
Ageism & Mid-Career Barriers
Staying valued and advancing past 40 in youth-biased cultures.

Rosa Delgado
Master electrician · Runs a 12-person crew
Twenty-one years in, I own the company and I still get asked to fetch the foreman. I can help you price a job so you stop underbidding, and handle a site where you are the only woman on it.
Marta Kowalska
Certified welder · Owns a fabrication shop
Started in a shipyard where the toilets had no lock. Now I hire the apprentices. Talk to me about certification routes, safety gear that actually fits, and buying your first machine.
Karin Bauer
Master carpenter · Bespoke furniture atelier
Took over a workshop that had been in a family for sixty years, none of them women. Good on Meisterprüfung, taking over an existing business, and clients who address every question to your male apprentice.
