    When the job is building sets, her crew can nail it - By Susan King, calendarlive.com, CA
    Outlook for women: "There are actually some really good women in all the crafts now. Where I have seen the change from 30 years ago is, then, people would see a woman and do a double take. I remember the days when they would come onto the stage to watch the woman carpenter work to see if she could do it — that was me. Now it is like nobody looks twice. It's still a male-dominated business, but most businesses are."
