Employees at Caltrax participate in Pink Shirt Day, an anti-bullying initiative.
“They see something in me,
and they want me to succeed,”
Meggitt says, adding she’d never
had that sort of support in past
jobs. “Having that support here
at Caltrax makes me feel good
about my work and about my
career. It’s been an incredible
experience.”
Meggitt admits that she initially
felt nervous about working in
a traditionally male-occupied
workforce. But she says she’s
felt welcome at Caltrax from the
start. “The people are great and
the place is great. I’m challenged
in a positive way every day. I feel
fulfilled for the first time in my
career.”
Meggitt wants to share a
message for women who are
considering a career in the trades:
“It’s important for more women
to come into this industry and
further their careers. Persistence
and patience with yourself is
important. But you shouldn’t be
afraid to take the leap.”
