No. 9 "The Electrician"

Roberta Lew-Pokrzyk - Roberta is an Electrician in a large manufacturing facility in Buffalo, New York. She has been an Electrician for over 16 years.

Her choice of employment field came out of necessity. Divorced and trying to make a decent life for her son, Roberta remembered something her father had always instilled in her: "Go back to school and learn a skilled trade and you'll always have something to fall back on".

Now re-married with one son and two stepchildren, Roberta is not shy to hard work, she will work a 16 hour double shift when needed.
