Before closing her workshop at 5pm, she would have cut her leathers down. According to her, she sews them late at night when everybody has gone to bed. The 25-year-old said that even though she is pregnant, she still shows up for work because it has become a habit, and not doing so could make her sick.

She revealed that one of the advantages she has over her male counterparts is that sometimes people bring tasks to her because they are amazed by the idea that a woman could work as a carpenter.
