Subject Matter Expert
Women in Trades
Subject matter expert Debbie Adams knows all about obstacles & how to overcome them.
She is dedicated to inspiring others to face life's challenges with integrity.
In spite of this, she continues to work in, and around, the non-traditional sector. She trained as a steel worker for the Hibernia Project in Newfoundland and taught in the area of Occupational Health and Safety with the Construction Industry in Nova Scotia.
When working directly in industry became impossible due to her vision, she went to university and earned a BA in Political Science with a minor in Psychology. She also studied Law for a short time.
She now finds rewarding work coaching women in trades, advising on policy development, delivering keynote addresses and workshops in esteem building and networking.
Debbie has attended the Campaign School for Women and has certificates in Mediation and Facilitation Skills. She uses her education and life experience to ensure others who choose this profession are entering safe and healthy workplaces.
Debbie believes life is for living and she shows us how to do so in spite of the obstacles she faces.
