This week’s guest found her career by chance when she graduated college and needed to find a job. Over a decade later, she hasn’t looked back. Whitney Buettner, a proud Metis woman, says of the trades “It’s rewarding. It’s extremely challenging. Every day is a blank slate.” She earned her Red AND Blue Seal Tickets in Carpentry in 2017 and has recently ventured into entrepreneurship and started her own company - Grace & Grit Construction.

A huge supporter of women in the trades, Whitney has also recently partnered up with another trades woman to create the group Flatland Sister to connect other tradeswomen in her area together. She hopes to encourage others to say yes to the things that scare you!

Guest:  Jenna Miranda - Journeywoman Electrician turned Harley Davidson Technician

First episode of 2024! We’re back with more great tradeswomen for you to meet! In this episode I’m thrilled to be joined by Jenna Miranda, a former Journeywoman Electrician, turned Harley Davidson Technician. Though she is still in her 20’s, Jenna has made a career out of the trades since before she graduated high school. She is proof of all the incredible opportunities available in the trades. While many are still figuring out what they want to do professionally, she was already financially stable enough to be preparing to buy a home. Instead, she decided to take the opportunity to change directions and start over with something she had always been passionate about, know that no matter what she had her Electrician skills to be able to depend on.

Jenna has an interesting perspective, and I know that you are going to enjoy meeting her! I hope you’ll check out this inspiring episode of With Her Two Hands!

Guest:  Lia Lamela - Journeywoman Electrician and host of the Sparky Life Podcast

Lia Lamela came to the skilled trades later in her career journey, but once she found her way to them - she dove in head first. A strong willed, spunky New Jersey Girl (like your host!) Lia did in 3 years what most do in 4 to 5 years. She quickly became an evangelist for the skilled trades and even has her own podcast that she produces and hosts called The Sparky Life, where - in her words - she focuses on “debunking untrue myths about trade careers, female inclusion in construction careers, and sharing tantalizing trade tales of heartache, struggles, and unparalleled success.” Lia’s background is in manufacturing and installing BMS control panels primarily in Data Centers, and had recently embarked on a new venture working with firm alarm and studying for the NICET Level 1.

Tune in for an episode of With Her Two Hands you don’t want to miss! Lord knows.. when you put 2 New Jersey Girls together, there’s no telling what will happen :)

Guest:  Tamara Robertson - Biomolecular Engineer, Maker and co-host of MythBusters

Tonight’s guest, Tamara Robertson, may be best known for her roles as co-host and fabricator on the reboots of Mythbusters, but what you may not know is that she is also a Patent holding, OSHA Certified Chemical and Biomolecular Engineer with over a decade of experience as a Design Engineer working on Greenfield Startups, developing patentable technologies and helping companies reduce the waste they put into landfills.  

And if that weren’t impressive enough, Tamara was recognized as a Marvel Agent of G.I.R.L. in the Marvel Comic “Unstoppable Wasp” by writer Jeremy Whitley for being a real-life superhero for her contributions within Engineering as well as her work empowering and normalizing young girls in STEM through her Superhero Science outreach. Tamara is also a leading voice in the Maker Community working to normalize women in Shop Environments and empower them by teaching them to utilize tools to build the future they want for themselves and others.  She hosts a Maker Podcast called "Tinkering Belles" and a series called "Shop Science" where she helps to connect the dots between Artisanal Trades Skills and STEM Careers. 

I could go on and on about her and her accomplishments, but instead I’ll just say that I hope you’ll join us on YouTube and FaceBook tonight for an episode of With Her Two Hands you definitely don’t want to miss!

Guest:  Audee Batson - Collision Technician

This week's guest originally went to college to be an automotive technician. However, like so many others, she struggled to get her foot in the door as a woman in her small town. She ultimately got hired at a collision shop to do their mechanical work - but when that was slow she started to learn the collision side of things. Not long after, Audee Batson dove in. She moved to Southern Ontario to do her apprenticeship and became a licensed collision technician. 7 years later, she’s thriving and working as a lead tech doing heavy collision work!

She left her home state when she was 19 to pursue an education and a better life for herself. Not only was she successful at doing just that, but now she’s passionate about helping others less fortunate do the same. Hannah is an automotive technician and an aspiring fabricator who, at only 24, is just getting started with what is sure to be a phenomenal career.

She graduated WyoTech in 2020 and that same year received the Jessi Combs Foundation Scholarship that, in her words, changed her life.
