I’ve been welding for eight years now.My specialty is stainless steel and aluminium tig welding .I love what I do . The assembly part of it is awesome . Were I’m working now, I do custom work for residential and commercial kitchens.Including counter tops ,sinks, cabinet,exhaust hoods and backsplashes and much more. It is sometime hard working with men, but in the end ,the accomplishment that you feel is well worth it ! Go Girls! Go! lol

I am a high pressure pipe welder. I have been welding for twenty four years.When I came out of trade school there were not many women in the field. The work environments were harsh and it was always a fight to prove that I was there to work not to date or look pretty.But I love welding. the fight was well worth the things I have gotten back from my trade.

I am 25 years old and have been welding for 6 years. I excel in structural welding and fabrication (7018 Vert/Horiz/Flat/Over) as well as heavy equipment repair and general welding (Mig/TIG Alum, SS, and Mild steel). In my opinion, there is nothing more satisfying than busting my ass all day in the hot sun, burning rods 30+ feet in the air and then coming home dead tired to drink a few beers. I love what I do and I take A LOT of pride in what I do. I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’d go toe to toe with any man that talks shit and thinks they can weld better than me because i’m female. Good luck boss….
