That feeling when you’ve worked all day, you’re tired, and you’ve built something incredible with your hands—you can’t beat that feeling of absolute fulfillment and purpose.
About Yvonne
- I entered prison with no idea what a trade even was until I joined the TRAC program and picked up tools for the very first time.
- Just two days after my release, I had my boots, my belt, and my first job.
- I started packing rebar and reading prints, and quickly earned respect by showing I knew how to work hard and work safely.
- Over the years, I’ve helped shape Seattle’s skyline—projects like the 520 Bridge and Washington State Convention Center are mine.
- I taught apprentices how to read blueprints and find their confidence, just like others once did for me.
- As one of the few women to last 10 years in the field, I co-lead our Women’s Committee to support those still finding their footing.
