Peach discusses perception versus reality of conflict on the jobsite and her experiences as a woman in the skilled trades as well as her experience balancing her artwork with her welding career.
She also addresses ongoing taboos in construction that hamper progress and outdated attitudes that are holding the industry back by resisting diversity and inclusion.
