Hi Alexis, thanks for interviewing Rachel. As a geologist I appreciate these skilled drillers and agree with Rachel that drilling, like geology, is a labor of love. We need more people like Rachel who can explain what she does and how she learned her trade with such eloquence. The two of you discussing your experiences in this important career setting, feeling a drill rig operating, and your experiences in the field working with rocks makes my day! Many thanks!
Thank you George for the lovely comment! Couldn't agree more that drilling is a labour of love and what Rachel is doing, both the work and the advocacy, is incredible. It was an honour speaking with her and talking all things geology, drilling, and working in the field!
Jessica Hinojosa plays Maria on Barney & Friends.
Great podcast and very inciteful!
The work Brandi is doing to support the Electrician who is pregnant is so important! I’m focussed on my career right now, but my dreams for motherhood are equally important to me. It means everything to me to hear that when I enter that season, a way has been pioneered. Thank you Brandi🙏🏽✨and THANK YOU Alexis for this incredible interview. The Smoko has become a lifeline for me ❤️
Oh my goodness, that made my day! Thank you for this very kind message! Agreed! The work that Brandi is doing is so important, and couldn't agree more with the impact of already having a way pioneered and structured; especially in terms of balance between motherhood and working ♥.
Great talking with you!
