Women in collision shops are fully capable of handling anything the job throws at her, but let's face it - she's different. She needs uniforms that fit properly, functional tools designed for her hands and PPE tested to keep her safe. Her reality is different than that of her male counterparts, but she's earned her place in the shop and should be celebrated for her resilience.

She deserves more. She deserves a community, a space of her own. She deserves a magazine that honors those differences - that celebrates the glossed finishes and examines the gritty realities. And she's finally going to get it. Issue 1 of Glossed & Gritty is coming soon, so stay tuned!

A blessing and a curse to have a brain doing somersaults while the rest of the world is sleeping. However, this means that the task you were waiting for me to complete is ready and waiting for you at 8 a.m. ☺️

I'm so stoked to have been interviewed by Leona for this segment in Autobody News. She worked magic on my awkward answers and made me sound way more fascinating than I feel lol

A trusted manager, a love for learning and a dream VW bus helped shape a thriving career for Jannifer Stimmel-Watkins.
