“You won’t be able to work as a mechanic in the field again if you get married and have children,” one senior supervisor stated two years ago.
Janet shared since then, that she has successfully gotten married and has had an amazing child. Against what her boss at work said, she has also built a great career as a mechanic at the same time.

“I’m married with a child, and I’m still on the field spinning. How could parenting prevent me if pregnancy couldn’t?”

The young mother revealed that she is determined to break the stereotype surrounding being a female mechanical technician.
