This industry needs more women in executive roles, and the women in these roles need to support other women. We have to end the stigma that women who speak up are “trouble makers.” We deserve every seat at the table. Women also need to be compensated fairly.
I have always had a passion for the environment and once I graduated from college, I really wanted to work in the environmental industry. While I was working for a corporate candle company, a friend of mine introduced me to the owners of a small environmental management company, and they gave me my first job in the industry.
I work with some badass women at Encamp! I have never felt more empowered than I do now. Our team is full of strong, smart, innovating women who lift each other up.
I am a perfectionist.
Being a woman in this industry is a challenge every day. We often get overlooked and not respected. For several years, I struggled with colleagues not valuing my time and expecting me to drop everything to be at their beck and call. Once I personally realized that my time was just as valuable as theirs I was able to address these issues more effectively.

Learn how to do multiple jobs so that you have a broad knowledge of the industry. Know your worth and don’t ever settle for less. Listen to your intuition.
It’s ok to say no.
