Michelle has enjoyed hands-on work since taking shop classes in high school, where she looked forward to a career in the trades. As a woman, she found it difficult to be hired in construction after high school, so she enrolled in the Renovation Techniques Construction Carpentry Program at Canadore College. Upon graduating in 2005, she was hired as a carpenter, framing houses and sheathing roofs. Learning more about the on-site trades, she grew a passion for roofing. In 2015 Michelle started her own business, Nailed It Roofing, which has been one of the top roofing companies in North Bay, Ontario for the past seven years.

“We were thrilled to receive hundreds of submissions demonstrating women’s impact on the roofing industry,” said Julian Francis, Beacon’s President & CEO. “It’s a privilege to recognize Michelle for her hard work and determination in leading the way for women in the roofing sector.
