WorldSkills Australia Nationals - Brisbane 2010 - Women in Trades mentor, Sam Sheppard

Sam Sheppard is from the Sunshine Coast and is a licensed builder. She loves building something from scratch and watching it grow. She started building when she was 17 years old, working at a cabinet making business and has been in building ever since. She also mentors women wanting to enter into non traditional trades, which she believes is important to remind these women she is guiding, that they have the power to lead in this industry and really instilling in women they are role models too.
