Sarah Fortin has been worked at Reidar's since she was in high school, first starting part-time after school to learn specific skills, and then went full-time and has been there ever since. She talks about being a woman in a largely male industry, her knowledge of nets and other tasks, how gear has and hasn't changed over time, and the state of the fishing industry and its potential impact on her own job and that of companies like Reidar's.
