A little update on A-Lines canine friends!🐾

Good afternoon everyone, we are back with Lynn and she has graciously allowed us to share a story. Tune in as there will be another one coming next month!

For three years, I worked in a predominantly male environment within the oil industry, where I faced both challenges and opportunities as a young woman new to the field. Entering the oil patch was not easy, I quickly realized the importance of developing resilience, confidence, and a strong sense of self.

While many crews were supportive and respectful, others presented a more difficult work environment. At times, I encountered comments and behaviors that reflected outdated attitudes about women in the industry. These experiences, although challenging, pushed me to grow stronger and more determined, and I learned to stand my ground and advocate for myself.

Despite these obstacles, my time in the oil patch was incredibly rewarding. I built lasting relationships with people who have since become like family. I would not have made if I hadn’t taken the risk to step outside my comfort zone and pursue something new.

The industry has made meaningful progress over the years. Today, more women are working on rigs and in various roles across the oil patch, contributing to a shift toward a more inclusive and respectful environment. While there is still work to be done, it is encouraging to see how far things have come.
