Nikki's journey into the meat industry might surprise you. Initially dreaming of working in a morgue for its meticulous and detailed nature, she found a parallel in butchery, recalling her positive childhood experiences at Super Butcher. Nikki's transition into the meat industry was driven by a desire for a significant environment change, where precision, care, and a strong team culture thrive.
Advice for Women Entering Male-Dominated Fields:
Nikki emphasizes the importance of keeping an open mind. "It's easy to enter a male-dominated field with your back up, ready to prove yourself. However, finding a supportive environment like Super Butcher, where there's a strong focus on team support and culture, is key. Approach your role with no expectations and positive intentions, and you'll set yourself up for success."

Looking ahead, Nikki is optimistic about the future for women in butchery. She hopes to see an increase in female apprentices, noting that advancements in technology and evolving roles within the industry remove any barriers to entry. Nikki believes the industry's shift towards more detailed presentation, innovative ideas, and convenience aligns well with the strengths women bring to the table. "There's a lot more detail involved now, and I think that's something women can definitely excel in," she says.
Nikki's story is a testament to the evolving landscape of the butchery industry, where diversity and innovation lead the way. She stands as a beacon for aspiring women butchers, proving that with an open mind and a supportive environment, there's no limit to what can be achieved.
