In my experience it is difficult to be the only woman and to have to constantly work against those assumptions. When I was installing I found myself working really hard to be the fastest installer on-site since I felt like I was representing women and didn\u2019t want anyone to assume I couldn\u2019t keep up. With that said, I have been fortunate to have many experiences with men across the industry who are very supportive of women working in solar.  I am excited about the Women in Solar Initiative, since I think that the more women can be involved in positive learning environments like GRID, then the more likely they will be to pursue a technical or field based position.\u201d"}
