00:00Hey guys, I'm Felicity Pettiford aka Sydney Builder Chick. I'm 21 years old, I
00:05started my apprenticeship when I was 16. I'm a fully qualified carpenter and
00:08builder. When I first started there wasn't a lot of females on site and I
00:16was the only female in my construction class so breaking that narrative and
00:21allowing females to step outside the comfort zone is so empowering to other
00:26women. When other people see it then they want to do it. Sydney Builder Chick
00:30is a platform and a business. It's also a platform for women to communicate,
00:35connect, network with so much more than just a business and a community. It's an
00:41empire of women. So the biggest misconception that tradies get are that
00:47we're high school dropouts which is not true. We're well educated and we have a
00:50couple years advanced comparing to what you students do or people in the office do.
