Women’s History Month: Thoughts from Erin “EV” Vance

Safety Corner

Our focus on some of our Transdev women in the field continues as part of our Women’s History Month celebration. See what EV, our Financial Planning Analyst for TAS, offers below.

“Women’s History month to me is a time to celebrate and recognize inspiring female leaders, inventors, and speakers who have changed history or are even changing history still.

I’ve been inspired by the hardworking people on our team who keep me inspired and motivated every day. I’m encouraged to bring 110% because they also bring 110% and it never feels unequal.”

“When working in a non-traditional role, you have to be ok with being outside of your comfort zone and learning new things – sometimes that means being a beginner at something and taking feedback or constructive criticism in order to grow and be better. I feel like when I am learning, I am getting better! My advice to women entering the transit industry is to embrace innovation and challenge the norms. Becoming better and breaking records is one way you get noticed in the transit industry. Seek out mentors and build a strong network to continue your professional development from there.”

Do you have a woman role model that has inspired you?

“One of the women that has inspired me is Misty Copeland who has been an advocate for diversity in the American Ballet and continues to inspire through her perseverance and passion for the dance. I’m inspired by her to challenge norms for a better future.”
