Women with Cool Jobs

Electrician and Handywoman Creates Her Own Business While Balancing Work and Family, with Shera Walker


Listen Later

Shera Walker is a master electrician and a handywoman who is breaking down stereotypes and creating a life that balances work, family, and fun. She has done both commercial and residential work as an electrician and now has her own handywoman business  called “Mizz-Fix-It”  based in Gainesville, FL. 

Shera apprenticed in high school under a master electrician after winning a statewide wiring competition, and went on to get her master electrician license in Georgia in 2001. She learned the trade while working with industry veterans, many times on incredibly old houses that could be over 100 years old with original wiring. 

Later, Shera moved to the Dominican Republic for 6 years to do missionary work and was also asked to participate in some construction projects. While there, she learned many different construction skills and was able to put them to use when she came back to the United States. In 2020, Shera started her handywoman business “Mizz-Fix-It” and also started to renovate tiny homes.
