She Wears Work Boots

Emily Lynch is a Labour Apprentice with LiUNA local 183 working on Highrise construction projects in downtown Toronto. Just over 2 years ago she stared sharing small parts of her work and career journey on Instagram in hopes to inspire other girls and women to look at construction as a serious career path. In her feed she shares about everything from transfer-slabs and concrete pumps to winterizing fly-forms and cleaning up after everyone else. If you visit her page, you can't help but catch a bit of her enthusiasm for building and enjoy her curiosity and delight at all that she is learning on her journey. In this episode we talk about the positive changes for women that she is just starting to see, the joy of day on a crew with another woman, and the importance of following your happiness.
