Hey I'm Chelsea! After 2 years studying full time and two Diplomas later I was a Qualified Graphic Designer. 5 Years working full time in the industry and freelance, I was struggling to find my way in an underpaid and overpopulated system. With two of my brothers and partner being builders, it's something I've always been around, so with the building boom hitting New Zealand hard, what better way than to take on a Building Apprenticeship! The hard work isn't just for the boys! This is a page full of triumphs and troubles for a female in the building industry.
