Brian Crombie Interview Trisha Cummings, General Manager Westlund/Emco Water Solutions, about the challenges of but need for, Women in STEM studies and jobs.

Trisha Cummings graduated as an Engineer and quickly moved through the ranks of the Alberta Oil and Gas industry and then the Water and Waste Water business specializing in critical Valves. She has some stories about attending industrial trade shows and been mistaken for the coffee girl, and standing beside men almost twice her height, but she believes Assertiveness (not aggressiveness) and resilience earned her a spot at the top of her business. She believes passionately in the importance that Women consider both education and careers in STEM and wants to tell her story and inspire others.
