Meet Elizabeth Moses

Elizabeth Moses did her first apprenticeship as a Machinist at St. Clair College in 2019 and is currently working on her second apprenticeship as a Sheet Metal Worker for the SMART Local Union 280, BC. In her free time she can be found drawing, reading or dancing.

When did your love of STEM begin?

I competed in my high school's robotics team for 3 years, my role was to construct the robots. In 2016, I graduated and decided to study machines in college. After four years of working and taking night classes I was able to become a Machinist. 

Last year, I moved to BC to start an apprenticeship in construction as a Sheet Metal Worker. 

What is the best part about working in the field of STEM?

The best thing about my work is that we see everything we make. I have worked in a few trade industry automotive, automation, manufacturing and construction. What I enjoy the most is sharing my story with students at conference and events. 

What advice would you give young women interested in a career in STEM?

Don't be scared to try new things. Stop fearing changing, change is inevitable. Don't be scared of failure, it helps us grow as individual.
