Being a mechanic feels like the most natural thing for me. Not only do I get to be surrounded by bikes all day, but I am able to tackle projects and problem solve while constantly learning. I am also acutely aware that I am almost always the only woman in this space. While everyone I have ever worked with or for has been extremely welcoming and inclusive to all, there is often an unintentional divide. As a woman, you feel like this in so many spaces and the cycling world is not an exception.
