“When I tell people I started out as an electrician with the ESB, they’re always asking if women are out there climbing poles and doing the heavy lifting – the answer is, we absolutely are.

I joined the ESB in 2018 as an apprentice electrician. I was qualified as an electrician and network technician, and I did that for four years.
