Team

I didn’t set out to become an electrician but when my lecturer at RMIT told us that only two of us would get a job as a sound engineer, I thought the music industry might not be for me – I better get a real job. My older brother Chris had a real job. He was an electrician.

My personality is suited to be an electrician, but I don’t suit the profile of a typical business owner. I think that is where my strengths lie for my clients. I build long lasting relationships with open lines of communication as I truly enjoy helping people.

As a kid I took a part every electronic toy Michael & I owned. I even stood on a roof with a stick of conduit in a thunderstorm to evoke the God of Electricity, Zeus. No signs from the Gods, just our next-door neighbour screaming Michael get of the roof! As if Michael would summons the Gods.

The favourite part of my day is going to a job and solving a problem another Electrical Company couldn’t fix. I’ve lost count over the decades how many times this has happened, but I still get a kick out of solving the unsolvable for our clients.

I am also a fan of law and order and have made several Citizens Arrests in my time. Next time you see me, ask to see my badge and I’ll tell you all about my endeavours to keep the community safe, one Citizen’s Arrest at a time. You’re Welcome.

As a child I wasn’t fascinated by electricity, I didn’t stick anything into a power point to see the sparks or lie in bed at night and dream of being an electrician, but I did know that I would help people when I grew up.

I get a genuine rush of positive energy from helping others, whether it is our long-term clients or our growing team, I know that I can have a positive impact which in turn has a ripple effect throughout our community.

I love the extended family we have nurtured over the years. Not only do I get to support our loyal clients and our beautiful team, I get to work alongside my husband Michael every day. For which, I am incredibly grateful.

My uncle and 2 of my cousins, who I looked up to a lot growing up, were all capable electricians. I loved how much pride they took in their work. Becoming an electrician then became a dream of mine. As the electrical industry is the most dynamic trade in the industry it stimulates me mentally while offering the physical component, I seek in trade position.

Electricity has always intrigued me. Growing up I was so curious as to what was behind all the lights and power points around the house and what made them work. After starting my pre-apprenticeship I was hooked and haven’t looked back. The industry is vast and holds so many opportunities and I know I’ll still be growing within the industry for many years to come.

I’ve always enjoyed taking more of a hands on and out in the sun approach to learning, so I knew taking on trade was for me. Throughout my pre-app and ongoing work as an apprentice, learning and growing to understand what goes on in the electrical field, from constantly meeting new faces to running cable to fault finding, there’s never been a dull day of challenges and I am more than excited to continue.

I have always wanted to help people and work in a supportive environment.

I have found that at Beal Electrical Services.

I love going to work every day knowing that I am helping people and doing that within a supportive team.

I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do after high school. I was an active kid working office jobs in the electrical industry for 2 years. Being an active person always had me wondering what it would be like on the tools. An opportunity presented itself and I made the move from behind the desk to on the tools which I really enjoy.

After studying 2 years of accounting and management at university I realised how much I hated sitting behind a desk. I had a friend who was doing his electrical apprenticeship so I thought I would give it a go and haven’t looked back since. The satisfaction I get from completing a job or fixing a fault is electrifying.
